It was a great location however we were a bit disappointed with the room compared with the photos online. We appreciated the fridge being in a cupboard for noise reduction. But in the bathroom of Unit 20, there was some mold on the ceiling and peeling paint. I know it's a budget motel but I don't expect to see mold in a room we have paid for.

The room was clean but it would be nice to have the room serviced more often automatically - 3 days is a bit long to wait. It was also pretty noisy at night with people coming in and out and speaking pretty loudly at all hours which is surprising considering the hotel is pretty strict with rules in general. The bed was also pretty uncomfortable.

"A great motel for the price. Walking distance to the shopping/ restaurant area. A bit tired but clean, and room had a great layout. Small kitchen had oven, microwave, fridge, pots, pans, plates, utensils etc. Even a little dining table for 2! We really enjoyed our stay here. Fully recommend."
