Unit was quite new, clean and tidy - even had a spa bath.But the water pressure in the shower was poor and the bed was so soft and bouncy it made you feel sea sick!

Disliked: Staff & service

Convenient location but services could be improved

The motel is located in a tranquil area, conveniently near the city centre. The room is clean and spacious. However, I wish the hotel manager were more welcoming and less calculative when guests ask for small extras, like 20ml of shampoo or one extra toilet roll. Additionally, the portable kitchen stove is not very effective.
