No Shower Door

Motel is very easy to find and the room was comfortable but the shower had no door and water spilled onto the stone floor which made it very slippery.

The only thing that could use improving is the brightness of the lights outside the room. Even with the curtains closed, there was quite a lot of light coming in. Other than that, it was great value for money

Stayed one night. No issues. Small room but had a kitchen area, separate bathroom and was comfortable. Free parking on premises. You could walk to where the main restaurants are but it’s not a short walk. I would stay here again.
