I love this place minor things like over doesnt work so no point buying food to cook the walls are papre thin so you kinda have to be really considerate for your neighbours. This place is super cheap and always my Go-to other then those just pray you dont get put to a family while you and your partner are on holiday 😫

The room was clean and had everything needed for a good nights sleep. Would happily reccomend them to anyone who wants a budget motel. Would use them again.

The room was clean and tidy. Went to cook a meal found there were inadequacies in enabling this. No cutting board, no cutting knife, no frypan, only 1 pot. No free to air TV luckily I can work the the systems and we were able to watch a documentary. No hairdryer. Mandatory in most reasonable motelsAn ashtray outside our unit was full of Cigarette butts. As this was a non smoking unit and the only place outside our unit to sit. Not acceptable.Felt short sheeted when the top sheet didn't fit across the bed. Had to get up in the middle of the night to remake the bed.

The room was in desperate need of a deep clean, and the mattress smelled like urine.

Check in process took a while. Room was very smelly, probably because of the carpet. AC was locked, so room was hot. The adjacent unit had what it seems like longterm tenant who were very loud and disrespectful, always screaming and arguing

The place is sketchy. Strangers (not living/renting the rooms) come knocking on your door. Ask for something green to Smoke? Happend twice yesterday(room 4). Noise all night till four in the morning. So if you like race and your sleep. Don't come here. Stay away

Oh my gosh where do I start. This place was so disgusting that we couldn't even contemplate staying in that filth. The place was an absolute dump. As soon as we parked our vehicle the vibe of that place was already telling me to leave. The area was filthy with rubbish outside the room and surrounding areas. The pics on their website did not reflect the lodge at all. The parking was like a matchbox. After ringing to try to cancel we were offered another room. Giving them the benefit of the doubt that this would be better it turned out to be worse than the firs tone. The bathroom was disgusting; the toilet hadn't been cleaned and had to be wiped down with our disinfectant wipes before use, and the seat was broken. The bathroom latch was missing and so was unsafe for our stay anyway. The floor hadn't been vacuumed. We moved the bed to find rubbish under the bed and mess was covered up by the positioning of the bed. The duvet on the bed smelled like it hadn't been washed for ages. The curtains had white splashes on them. The kitchen and appliances had not been cleaned, and the room smelled disgusting. Because we hadn't organised other accommodation and it was getting dark, we tried to make do and we wiped down those areas but the place just made me sick to my stomach, gave me such a headache that I could even stay another minute in there, so we left. We didn't stay. We were out of pocket and had to end up looking for other weekend accommodation. Rating - a big fat MINUS 10

Absolutely disgusting, would not recommend staying here. Unhelpful staff, room had not been cleaned, urine all over the toilet, carpet pure filth, smell was horrendous. Worse than a dog kennel. Moved to a different motel, staff refused refund

The bed was missing a leg and the curtain rail and hand towel rails were broken. No receptionist Day or night. I came to my room late tired and found the leg missing so I had to use a draw to shove under the bed until morning. Mattress is dirty as and no blankets.

Reception un manned, had to call a number for someone to arrive by car for check in (about 5 mins) there were dirty socks in the cupboard, empty wine bottle under sink, had to call again to get a tray for the oven to cook dinner (that took 40mins to arrive), pretty much empty dish washing liquid, shower water pressure is non existent, no daily house keeping as advertised. Came to give new towels 3 nights into my 4 night stay. No staff onsight at all, must call a cell number for them to arrive if anything needed
