Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Service personal was good and seems to be helpful, When i showed my IDs and CAA membership card to get 10% discount, i have been informed that, since the internet is down we can not proceed the payment thing now but don't worry we will take care later. At the time of checkout i remind them for the CAA discount, then the girl told me, sorry we can not do this now, SORRY. you should have done this when you arrived, She acknowledge the reason of internet but still said i can not do anything. Since that was not my fault i asked to compensate for something. Thanks Jamil

Not bad
The building was receiving updates while we were there, including the lobby and dining area for the complimentary breakfast. The hotel did its best to accommodate this and provided coffee, tea and a breakfast to go bag in the lobby which contained muffins, yogurt and juice. The motel has an upper level where people appeared to be staying more long term and had children who were quite loud. Otherwise, it’s a decent place to lay your head if you aren’t staying long.

We searched around and only this property had free parking downtown for an affordable price. The location is the best; walking distance to everything a tourist needs. The room is small but has the basics and "hommy" feel with a microwave and a fridge. Breakfast is just the very basics. The staff is friendly and helpful.

A good deal
A handy location near to centre of city with ample free parking. The rooms are nicely decorated and up to date, complete with fridge, coffee maker and micro. The AC was a little noisy. A budget motel, but still quite nice.
