Pros - good location, almost everything is within walking distance. The room is large, has everything you need, except maybe a washing machine, but it (and a dryer) are on the hotel grounds, for coins. The staff is friendly and willing to help. Cons - we got a room by the road, it was a bit noisy. The hot tub was outside and covered in dust, so we didn't use it.

We stayed here and walked to the city for two nights. We missed the check-in time, but the waiter very thoughtfully put a sticky note on the door so that we could check in smoothly.

Was not the room I had chosen on the website, very disappointed. Photos on sites should be true to what you are expecting and paying for!
The area of motel was great as it was central to lots of things.

Overall I enjoyed my stay. A nice warm room with everything I needed. Very conveniently located to local shops and restaurants etc. Just a little noise created by Saturday evening traffic on the busy road fronting the motel
