“This basic motel offers a safe environment and easy parking, plus the convenience of a kitchen area open until late; I especially appreciate the provision of toiletries and even shaving cream packs. While some may find the street noise disruptive and the linens not quite pristine, I think the friendly service and generally clean rooms make this a solid option for budget-conscious travellers.”
