The room was really spacious with a full kitchen and separate bathroom. The beds were very comfortable. The couple running the place are very nice. Its very close to the railway station (we walked back in the morning as the night before the taxis were charging $45 for a 4 min ride! The walk was easy). We would stay here again!

This motel was cleaned quite well, but you had to walk over dog poop (some was old, old) to walk to your vehicle. Also the bed was uncomfortable - decor very old. The kitchen and bathroom were newer.

Great parking, kitchen setup was so good with everything you needed. Arrived to find our room had a leak in roof in bathroom and dining room which was due to a pipe leaking suddenly. The owner tried to arrange alternative accomodation and rang a plumber and was very apologetic. We ended up having room swapped with other guests that were arriving at midnight, so gave them time to get the plumber in and the problem sorted before they arrived, as opposed to us having no accomodation for the night as everywhere was booked. It appears this accomodation has long term residents living there but that wasn’t an issue for us as it was quiet and had what we needed.
