Dogs on adjoining property started barking at 6am. Not much the owner of the motel can do if you have inconsiderate neighbors. Motel itself was very nice close to city center.

It was such a shame the bathroom was minute and only big enough for a toilet and a tiny shower cubicle that you had to climb up into. No bath mat so I slipped when getting out. Not sure how this place got 4 stars.
