This is one of the nicest motels I've stayed in. Incredibly clean, friendly management, felt like home away from home. Car parking spaces are very narrow though and the motel sign is slightly obscured coming from centre city.

Brand new property! Really nice and large room, everything was basically brand new. I booked this location based on it's proximity to the rental car office, and I was worried that it would be far from everything. NOPE! It was 2 blocks from Cathedral Square, like 1 1/2 block from the park, 2 blocks from tons of restaurants, etc. No worries on location at all! We had the buffett breakfast one day and it was really good too. (we ate at the Apron Cafe on the other day for breakfast and that was good too) Highly recommend!

This spotless and modern hotel was a 10-minute stroll to downtown and close to several cafes and restaurants (including one in the lobby). The room was spacious and, again, spotless, and the bed was super comfortable. Everything looked brand new. If you tell them ahead of time you need parking, you might score a parking spot right downstairs. Either way, the second parking lot is literally across the street. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Had a great stay at Hotel 115! Great location, easy to get to and from the airport ans the bus stop is just around the corner. But my only issue was that I wish they were more clear online about the gym and pool access. I purposely booked this hotel for its access to a gym and pool but it wasn’t mentioned that there were limited passes available to guests to use the facility. We had to wait for other guests to finish before being able to use the gym and pool so I’m guessing there’s around 2-4 passes total for the guests to use. Other than that I had a great stay!
