Good central city site. Room and facilities with queen bed, ensuite and kitchenette were tired and the cook top hob needs replacing (one heat only - high). Good parking and a big heated pool. Overall, given the condition, i expected to pay less.

I had booked for a couple of days for my daughters, while I was in hospital. Motel was very CLEAN, a little dated but lovely. Good size rooms for families. Our hostess was helpful and a pleasure to deal with. (Thank-you) Handy to everything, shops, cafes and the Studium. I will book here again. Good value for money.
