The property is ideally located just outside the town center. The outside appearance isn't brilliant and could updated but that's the only downside. The room was clean and above standard ,the shower was 5 stars and the bed very comfortable which is all I wanted from a Hotel/motel. I would stay here again. 4.5 stars
