The room was fine ! But the tv was old ! And I couldn’t watch Netflix or YouTube . Hot water in shower kept going cold so the shower wasn’t very good either. At one point there was no hot water.

It is an old style motel but well renovated, staff friendly and efficient. I'd recommend it it for budget conscious travellers. There was construction noise but the motel warned of that

The place definitely does not have any street appeal. But staff were great and room was very clean and tidy . Bed also very comfortable. Was an over night work trip so was perfect but definitely not a family holiday destination.
