Great property. Very clean. Great price for what is a small apartment rather than a motel room. If you are on the lower floor, expect to hear every footstep from above.

Stayed in October 2023. The room itself is good, they were repainting the building exterior so that was a little inconvenient but good they are doing real works. Rooms are very spacious like a decent apartment, all look recently re done, clean etc. The problem is the area itself is not especially nice, we had an instance of a vagrant looking type knocking on our door and asking for someone, informed the staff and it seemed like that wasn't the first time. The motel itself is fine, let down by being in a city that feels unsafe.
