Acceptable accommodation, unacceptable noise
The motel was as expected, comfortable but a bit tired in places. The biggest issue was that there was a fairly loud party outside our door until about 10:40, like related to the hosts/owners. While people were behaved, there were outside and there was very little sound proofing into the room, making for a not very pleasent stay. Only option would have been to get dressed and go confront the party, not something will to do late at night.

I stayed in the apartments, it was a fantastic unique Experience
Large , with quality bed linen of the highest quality
The unique heritage era architectural qualities made it so atmospheric. One of my favourite stays for a long time
Pod coffee maker was a special touch with quality pods
I cannot recommend the apartments highly enough
