Don't judge a book by it's cover. Pretty ordinary looking from the outside but very nice once inside. Checking in and out was a breeze; quick, efficient and courteous. Rooms were the same as most hotels/motels. Would happily recommend.

Really easy going, genuine, welcoming staff. Room was good value - clean and comfortable. Air conditioning wasn't amazing and of no use to helping cure my hangover.
