This is a budget hotel - but the beds were soft, rooms relatively clean. There's a bit of chipped paint and out of date styling. You get exactly what you pay for so don't expect a 5 star luxury experience and you'll be fine. Car parking is a bit limited as more units than spots.

The pool looked dirty and not inviting. Very aged and basic Interior, pillows very flat, but mattress comfortable,noisy neighbours in the next room, who smoked outside and spoke on speaker phone for over 30 minutes at 6am, which is out of the motel’s control, but asked to reflect on my experience. I actually felt unsafe at night and jammed the chair under the door knob. Seemed to be a lot of smoking men on the balcony watching, which freaked me out as I was alone. Close and very convenient location for where I needed to be for three days and I guess you get what you pay for.
