Love this place!

First of all, the location is 5-star! So easy to walk the old town and its sights along with proximity to the Waverly train station and local bus stops. The room was very clean, kept up daily, and the bed was comfy. Breakfast downstairs was perfect and offered a great variety. The open seating for breakfast and a visit to the bar with the huge picture windows was lovely. All of the staff was helpful and friendly whenever we had questions about the area or needed assistance. The only reason we gave 4-stars for comfort is the lack of seating in the room and no "unpacking" space. There was one desk type chair, one luggage rack and no drawer space. Open clothes rods were available, but we unpack suitcases for a 4 night stay. Other than that, Motel One was outstanding and we would return.

This is one of the best locations in the city for a hotel. Right on the border between New Town and Old Town and close to the train station. Rooms were just ok, but clean.
