Not the best but not the worst. The laundry room was purely trashed. Our "suite" had an ant issue. For one night, it was okay. The van to the train station was surprising and awesome.

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!
