Highly recommend!
We arrived late at night on a late flight, but the room was already warm with the heater turned on, which was such a thoughtful touch. It made us feel very welcomed and allowed us to relax right away. The room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. I had a great stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

I'll definitely recommend the Admiral as I found it very convenient and the owner is very very helpful. The whole stay was seamless. We checked in at midnight, but the owners were so thoughtful that they left some food and biscuits for us at late night.

The motel was spacious and clean. We had a couple of issues during the first night of our stay, but the owners saw to them as soon as possible. Good location close to the city centre which made all local amenities accessible, especially by car. The owners were very welcoming and are doing their best to inject some life into what is an older style motel.
