Decent motel at a good price.
Standard clean and decent motel at a good price. Only downside was reception being shut when we arrived in the later evening in pouring rain.

Fantastic lodgings
We chose this motel for its proximity to the train station, so it's slightly far from the main shopping/dining area.
However, the room is fantastic with full amenities. The staff was very nice as well, giving us a room that was ready even though we arrived 4 hours before check-in time.
