It is a three star motel. I do not expect brand new. I do expect cleanliness, courteous helpful staff, and everything working as it should in the bathroom and kitchen. I was not disappointed. The seats and bed were very comfortable. Excellent.

While an older property, it was very clean, and this included a mid-stay replacement of towels etc. which was great given I was only there for two nights. Excellent location, close to amenities.
