It's a very good motel of its type i.e. inner city and reasonably priced. Being pet-friendly was a big plus. All over, it was a very pleasant stay and met all our expectations.

We'll set up and appreciated that heater had been turned on to warm the room before we checked in.

We enjoyed our stay and found the service friendly and obliging. The only thing we could find fault with was that we had no views and we felt a bit 'boxed in'
For city accommodation, it was convenient.
Thank you
