I slept well... that's all that's a plus.

6.0

The room was clean. The Wifi was good. The bed was very comfortable.

− There was no one around or in the office when I arrived to check in. I wasn't sure where I'd end up for the night so I booked in a rush. If I had had more time, I would have found something else.

Good budget motel in a convenient location.

9.0

The room was fairly large, bigger than I had expected. The beds were comfortable. I was happy to have a long table with two chairs, and the mini fridge I liked the location, being on the top floor at the end we didn't hear anything from our neighbours. It looks like they are installing a new air-conditioning unit. The old one was almost laughable in how noisy it was, but this didn't bother us.

− Nothing.

Comfortable and clean motel that has been newly renovated. Excellent customer service at the front desk. Wifi is fast and available in rooms. Location is close to the waterfront. Air conditioning in rooms also works well. Good value for the price.
