Convenient at its best
We have stayed here several times now each time it’s been a great experience. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The room has everything you need for a couple of nights stay and it’s directly opposite a big shopping complex with the shops you need.

Bed was comfortable and the location very handy to the mall - our room was small, probably better for a single person or contact the motel before booking to request a larger room.
