The room was tidy and met our needs for our stay. The staff were kind enough to let us check out late as our flight left in the afternoon and let us use some cleaning equipment when needed too. We were able to have our cat with us too, so were very grateful for that.

We chose this motel mainly because it was handy to the railway station. The Wi Fi in our room was absolutely hopeless, the dining/sitting area was quite small, we did however have a comfortable stay.
