Conveniently located, off the city centre in not so busy surrounding with good access to public transports. However amenities in the room are worn out and aged, not well maintained, poor lighting, fuzzy TV reception, long wait for hot water to arrive when tap is turned on and workers in corridors and surrounding are loud voiced even at night. Very loud bar area on Saturday night and, last but not the least, free breakfast is a pretty sub- standard.

The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was decent, offering a good variety to start the day. The location is very convenient, close enough to key attractions and public transport. The rooms and facilities are near new, which made the experience even better—everything was clean, modern, and comfortable. Check out was the quickest I’ve ever experienced.

I recently stayed at this motel and was left with mixed feelings. The standout feature was definitely the breakfast, which was well-prepared and enjoyable. However, there were several issues that detracted from the overall experience. Firstly, there was a significant lack of service. Despite booking for three people, the futon lounge was not made up or ready upon our arrival. It took a frustrating 40 minutes for housekeeping to address this. Additionally, no extra towels, pillows, or blankets were provided for the third guest, which was disappointing given that the third guest had been paid for. The pool area was another letdown. It wasn't cleaned at the end of the day, leaving the same glasses and plates from the previous night scattered around. Tables remained dirty, and towels were left strewn over deck chairs, giving a neglected impression. Overall, while the breakfast was a highlight, the motel's housekeeping and maintenance need significant improvement. The staff would benefit from more training and efficiency to enhance the guest experience.
