Decent for a one nighter. Bed was smaller than the expected queen, looked a little bigger than a double but was comfortable. Tv was pretty small and they had a portable heater for warmth, interesting but okay. Room itself was clean. Staff was friendly.

The front desk staff were friendly, helpful and informative. The room was great with a table to sit at. The motel provided a heater which came in handy in the sub zero temperatures. The motel offered a breakfast including orange juice et al, coffee with freshly ground beans, muffins, yoghurt and fresh fruit. My room was a short walk from Princess Street.
