A refreshing change from previous place I had been regularly using. Easy access, with good parking. Short walking distance from mall with good bars and restaurants. Unfortunately had a room with a dodgy heater (lucky it wasn't too cold). Manager was helpful

Disappointed that when I booked the motel it came up on Expedia as 100, but then charged 170? The motel was expensive for what it was, the room smelt a bit damp, and there was a lot of traffic noise.
