Room was clean, good linen, but very dated. Really friendly staff on check in, easy parking & great location to walk to the square. The price is fair for what it is, but avoid room 2 for road and guest noise (on a Friday night).

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Arrival and check in were easy and staff were great. Unfortunately the room was very tired. It is in need of renovations to update it. The bathroom is worn and the water pressure is poor. The bed and pillows were hard. The internet was excellent and the TV was a good size with all Sky channels available. Parking was tight but seemed secure so no worries there. Overall a pretty average motel which could be better.
