10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 2 nights in a Superior Deluxe Studio over the weekend. The room was clean, comfortable, well maintained and large for a studio. The kitchenette had all the essentials and had the weather been better we would have enjoyed the deck area. The motel is a 5 min walk to the centre of town which made getting around easy. Relaxed and friendly service from Fred added to our experience. We were very happy with our choice, especially for the price paid."

"The bathroom left a lot to be desired. The toilet was mounted on a piece of laminated wood, which did not look hygienic. The toilet seat was very loose. The whole studio looked like it could have had a deep clean around the edges. The bedding was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Location to restaurants was very good."
