    It's very unassuming from the outside but inside is lovely. It was absolutely spotless. All the beds were comfortable and there's lots of space. Location is great. Raj was great to deal with and even posted my mum's glasses that she left ther.

    Friendly staff. Great location, parking on site, although there isn't a guaranteed space. Very clean. The top floor room facing carpark was good for a couple of nights. Budget motel. Small room, but it is equipped for a short stay.
