We had a great stay at the Palazzo Motor Lodge. Our studio was large, well equipped, comfortable and quiet. Staff were all very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The location is great for getting around town and there are good bus links nearby if you want to go further afield without driving.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment for two nights, it was very clean and very well appointed, quiet, and convenient walk to supermarkets and downtown restaurants. Upon checking we were given a lot of recommendations for things to do and see in the surrounding areas and places to eat. Would highly recommend!
