Overall my stay was brilliant. If I must quibble, water in shower, toilet and sinks was a bit weak. Again, loved the room and overall accommodation, made my visit all that more restful/enjoyable.

The motel room was sizable. It was a little dated, but the facilities were very good. The studio in is suitable for a couple or smaller family, with its separate double bedroom, and full kitchen. It was economically priced and provided excellent value for money.
