Bed was uncomfortable, clean, tidy but it needs a renovation. The toilet knob you use to flush kept popping out and I had to use the shower to fill the kettle. I probably wouldn’t stay again

Comfortable, budget stay

We have an overnight stay at this motel. It was clean, comfortable and affordable. Our bathroom was renovated and parking outside our ground floor room. The room was spacious and reception friendly and helpful. It offers room service and has a pool and tennis court (which we didn’t use). Overall a pleasant stay.
