The 2 bedroom unit on upper floor has large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and cutlery etc. King bed is high and firm and gives a fantastic sleep. Unit is not noisy. Bathroom is a bit 'tired' and in need of renovation.Staff are friendly and happy to help with any queries or needs. Overall i was quite happy with my stay at the Asure Avenue Motel.
