I stayed overnight, friendly staff but there is no aircon in the bedroom and the queen/double size bed was put together with two single bed mattress and it’s very soft. My back was very discomfortable so I have to sleep on the floor after being awaken by the discomfort.

Dogs on adjoining property started barking at 6am. Not much the owner of the motel can do if you have inconsiderate neighbors. Motel itself was very nice close to city center.

Had previously stayed in the newer part of the property and was disappointed to be allocated a room in the older more tired rooms.

It was such a shame the bathroom was minute and only big enough for a toilet and a tiny shower cubicle that you had to climb up into. No bath mat so I slipped when getting out. Not sure how this place got 4 stars.
