Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Did not look anything like the photos. The room was very basic and pretty grubby looking. The linen and towels were clean but the rest of the room didn’t look the cleanest. The window of the room was a thin pane of glass and the door just had a keychain for locking the door. During my stay it was mainly male guests congregating about outside and as a solo female traveller I did not feel safe or secure in my room especially with how thin the glass of the window was and the flimsy door. I had to push a chair behind the door and put my case on top of it as I was scared. Safe to say I did not stay my full 3 nights I checked out and went to another hotel. This place was extremely overpriced for what it is. There was also random insects on the room floor. I asked about a refund due to safety concerns and was made to feel like an idiot. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Room was neat and tidy; bed was ok and had fresh linen. Room had a microwave and small fridge available. Staff were helpfully and friendly. Unfortunately, the amount of noise got to me - street outside the property is very busy combined with people noise and airplanes every now and then - otherwise I had a pleasant stay

Apart from a group of very noisy guests on my final 2 days/nights who were drinking, screaming and playing loud music all day and late into the night, I thought the property was great value for money and the staff were all very friendly and polite.

This one has seen better days.

An older motel style accommodation which is probably charging more than it should. The accommodation for me was ok, clean but looked like it needed a bit of a touch up. They have opted to not service rooms daily (pretending to be eco conscious), but haven’t lowered prices accordingly - you could get a great old-style motel just two streets away (with better service) at a more reasonable price per night.

The unit was NOTHING like the photos on the website. It was an absolute SCAM. We could not get a refund as we had not booked directly with them. Place was filthy, run down, missing basics like locks on bathroom door, fans to bathroom and toilet (NO ventilation in either), hole where stove should be with gas connection visible, TV on blank wall with power cord and aerial cords from TV to power points. Fixed old shower rose over filthy bathtub with cheap shower curtain. You should be ashamed at booking clients there - it was unhygienic and unsafe. This place completely ruined our holiday - absolutely disgusting!! Will never book with Lastminute.com or Expedia again.

Good for a quick stop.

The furnishings are a bit dated, but the accommodation was clean. The bed was not very comfortable. There is a pool, playground and barbecue area. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery store.
