Convenient at its best
We have stayed here several times now each time it’s been a great experience. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The room has everything you need for a couple of nights stay and it’s directly opposite a big shopping complex with the shops you need.

Bed was comfortable and the location very handy to the mall - our room was small, probably better for a single person or contact the motel before booking to request a larger room.

Neat and clean. Room has enough facilities for staying. Convenient location for shopping. But the most greatest thing about this motel is the owner. They are so nice, considerate and flexible. I really relaxed during my stay. Definitely we will be staying here if we have next time!
