Property has been renovated and is presentable. We book for a family of 5. The space is abit tight compare to the photos. Wish the toilet had an exhaust fan as room become humid after a warm shower. Bed is comfortable and fit all 5 of us but the construction that had been going on infront of the hotel goes from late to early morning during our stay. Vibration and noise just too much. We wish we were told before this on their website

Outstanding, modest little gem: great value for money; comfortable; very clean and recently updated; our room was quiet and secure; air con worked well; well-appointed for a one or 2 night stay with bar fridge, crockery / cutlery / glassware / bottled water / little treats / tea, coffee and milk / toaster / microwave; very friendly staff on check-in; great wi-fi; free on-site parking. Honestly, leaves other motels to shame - THIS is how it's done ! Would highly recommend. Thank you
