My experience with this motel was horrible. At almost 10pm, someone opened my locked door. Only after my spouse went to see how this was possible, the man apologized, and said he had the master key and was intending on going in the room next door. I contacted the motel through Expedia after approximately a week as my $200 deposit had not been refunded, and received no response. It has now been over 2 weeks and my deposit was not refunded, and my spouse contacted them on Thursday and was told my deposit was held due to the smell of marijuana and that a manager would contact him about this; it is now Saturday and still no contact. Marijuana is legal here and we smoked in the designated smoking areas which can be reviewed on the security systems. I will be contacting the BBB regarding this.

A place to sleep but nothing more
It's a 2 star facility for a reason. Breakfast is non-existent. The toilet "shrieks" when you flush it. Electric outlets are scarce. No in room coffee service. It is VERY close to the Botanic Gardens.

The stay itself was fine. Reason why I would never stay here again is becau they seem to make a habit of charging you your $200 damage deposit on your credit card 2 days after you leave and when you contact them they say it's because they smelt cigarette smoke in your room. I'm not even a smoker!! Theres no way to combat this as well as you prepaid for damage deposit. Good luck!

The lobby was clean and modern. Set up like a wine tasting room. Lots of outside seating with view of city. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Rooms desperately need to be upgraded.
