Good value at peak season. Small room, average bed. Great air-conditioning.
Staff were very understanding when I slept in and checked out one hour late. A small $20 fee I believe was quite reasonable. Reception stayed open an extra hour to accommodate us.
A five star, 3 star hotel

It is an old style motel but well renovated, staff friendly and efficient. I'd recommend it it for budget conscious travellers. There was construction noise but the motel warned of that

The place definitely does not have any street appeal. But staff were great and room was very clean and tidy . Bed also very comfortable. Was an over night work trip so was perfect but definitely not a family holiday destination.
