Great location, walking distance to town center, pubs and a few tourist attractions. The only downside is that the shower pressure was inconsistent and the aircon didn’t work. Overall, we had a great stay.

Nice clean comfortable room. Some minor repairs are required. Needs a new shower head, there was no chain for the lock on the door. Reception was friendly and helpful. Overall a good quality lower priced motel, that is in easy walking distance to shopping centre and main street.
