The room was clean, adequate and functional. What I didn't like was, I opted for a ground floor room as I was travelling with a heavy case and there was no elevator. (building is low rise.) There were no net curtains so people were passing and could see right into my room which was rather invasive so I had to keep my curtains permanently closed. The staff on reception, Sonny in particular, were extremely polite ,helpful and friendly.

The night staff that checked us in he is great and very helpful, the room is clean and acceptable, the AC is ok and not sure about the breakfast yet until we try in in the morning. I was told that it is just a grab and go snack so i will not expect too much, but something is better than nothing.

One of the nicest motels I have stayed in in a long time! Our room was newly renovated, nicely furnished with a bit of a retro vibe and impeccably clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We'll come back!

The staff werereal friendly and helpful. There was no restaurants around the area and things were not walking distance. We booked a queen size bed and was given a double bed. They advertise breakfast which included muffin, yogurt , bananas, oranges,apples coffee and tea. Even though the room was clean i would rate it a 2 star.
