I arrived at 136 On Bealey at about 10.30pm from.the airport. I was having a hypo and could not figure out the lock box for the key as I was disoriented. The lovely man that runs the motel came and opened it for me. While the motel is obviously aged, my room was comfortable, very clean and well presented, and the bed is I think the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on.i want to know the brand because seriously, I would buy one of these beds.
The location was great. The room rate is fabulous. All in all what a great stay.

Once you get past the odiforous reception, the corridor is smart, Likewise the rooms are well appointed, though typically somewhat dark!
Street-front rooms are warm and bright, though the single-glazing means you clearly hear the traffic at all hours.
Rear rooms are the inverse!

Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay. The room had everything we needed, the staff were welcoming, and the location was perfect. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Old dated motel, room had old towels. We had two nights there, second day we went out for the full day sightseeing and returning found our room wide open and propped open with door stopper. We could have been robbed and thought we were! We reported next morning and was told it was housekeeping and short staff, but this was a security issue, motel did not provide security for our room and belongings. Never experienced this ever,

Great place to stay for a quick business trip, centrally located. A little bit dated building but they have done a thorough refurbishment. Good value for what I have paid for
