The motel was a bit challenging to locate, especially since I mixed up the nearby universities. The staff was welcoming and the common area was a nice touch, offering free drinks. However, the room disappointed me due to its size and an awkward bathroom setup. While the location had some conveniences, the price felt too high for what I received.

I had a great stay at The Fox. The staff went above and beyond to help us, providing a lot of conveniences like rides and local tips. However, the rooms were quite small, and the lack of closet space was a minor inconvenience. Overall, the place offers solid value for money in a decent area, but be prepared for compact accommodations.

The hotel is well-located near markets and public transport, making it convenient for exploring the area. While the rooms are small and lack storage options, they have adequate amenities for a short stay. The service was accommodating, but the atmosphere reflects its past as a love motel, which might not be for everyone. Overall, it offers good value for budget travelers looking just for a place to sleep.
