This property is badly rundown and in desperate need of some TLC. No hot water when we arrived and to be fair, the manager offered to find us another place or give us a discount. We decided to stay, as we were really tired! It would have been a really classy place once and probably could be again but it would take a huge investment!

The check in was fine, the proprietor was friendly and attentive. The room smelled musty and damp and had very dated decor, but it was clean and tidy. The motel was right on the main road, but the traffic noise wasn't too bad.

It was once a lovely place but is now everything is very dated and tired looking. Emergency housing on site as well which is very sad. Having said that, it was quiet and we slept well

Sorry to say this but it wasn’t good as it lacked cleanliness. The trash wasn’t taken out , nor the towels changed , unlike any other motels we stayed before.

Catherine • Trip with Friends

The place is well located and the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, the quality of the room wasn’t good. Not very clean and lots of things missing: kettle, soap, sponge, only 2 glasses/ 1 cup/ 2 plates for 4 people. We asked the friendly guy working there and we got a few more things. We had to wash again the cutlery and plates before using them. The windows were very dirty, etc. The place has a lot of potential but needs some improvement.

MARIA • Solo Trip

It was good to arrive and walk into my room. Pissed off no normal channels on tv only a song channel. Watered down soap in bottle in bathroom. Took too long for the shower water to heat up.. Not even worth wot i paid for. Needs a good clean up around the place. motel. Its only a money motel.
