"Good for a one night stay in a no fuss accommodation. The motel is not the most modern but has a comfortable bed, with a nice shower with a mini fridge in a spacious room. It can smell like cigarette smoke but it is older so to be expected. I will stay here again. The staff are friendly & accommodating."
