The owners are lovely people but the place is pretty run down. It was a ok place for a night to go to a concert and an ok place to rest your head.

Great value

Very close to the railway station and Wolfbrook arena. It was very simple to take the bus from the airport, with one transfer, taking 40-50 minutes. They also provide a free shuttle service to the railway station for early departures. However, if you are planning to take the train you need to bring your own supplies as there are no groceries within walking distance from the motel. The motel is dated and has many signs of wear and tear, but for the price the room was clean, comfortable and with all the necessary facilities. The manager Andrew is so nice and hospitable. Recommended!

Great one-night stay!

Be sure to call in advance if you're arriving at the train station and Andrew will pick you up! I appreciated the upgraded room when I was late to arrive. Andrew has a fascinating back story that I was happy to hear about!
