Friendly staff, clean, comfortable and reasonably spacious rooms with requisite amenities, and within walking distance from Supermarkets and the city centre. Though the motel is on a busy road, the rooms are at a sufficient distance away to ensure that there is no road noise.

We stayed three nights as we explored the surrounding areas. It’s a fairly basic smallish studio but it had everything we needed. The room was serviced daily which was a nice touch. Comfortable bed and instantly hot shower, lovely after a big day out. The only negative were the pillows were so big and fat. Great for sitting in bed drinking a cup of tea but awful for sleeping with.

I like the spa room, bed is very comfortable. I don't like the fact there are coffee and tea sachets, plates, cups and cutlery plus kettle and microwave, with no milk in the fridge and me not being informed that there was no milk.

It was a bonus to be able to park outside our room. Happy with the location. Failed to contact reception when we wanted something. It wasn't a biggie but wanted a cloth to wipe down the bench after use. There was also no tee-towel in the room on arrival.
