7.5 Good Based on 266 reviews
Editor's Pick

"Rooms feature high-pressure showers, air conditioning, and small kitchenettes with microwaves and kettles. The motel sits within a 2-minute walk of town shops and the cinema. Best for budget travelers, less so for anyone needing basin-free dishwashing."
