Small room, helpful friendly staff. Parking was tight. The rooms were tidy. There is no AC so when we were there it was rather warm.

The room was in good condition and staff were very helpful.
Only suggestion is that there should be a grab rail in the shower as the metal floor can get slippery and maybe not safe especially for older people.

We have stayed here twice. An older motel with older decor but nice and clean and for us, it is conveniently located. We would stay again.

Motel decor is dated. However, rooms are spacious, clean, and well appointed. Very handy to a large shopping centre.
