The front doors were a bit hard to lock (2 of them). In regards to privacy, when you open the curtains, people can see straight in, there's no real privacy, you either keep them open or closed.

I didn't like. 1. They took money from card when I said I was going to pay when I got their. 2. The room had a very dirty smelly blanket in the cupboard. I made the bed and put the blanket dirty side up on the end of the bed, so the cleaners could see it. The cleaners folded it up and left it on the bed. I rang motel number and got a lady who was very rude to me. They changed the blanket after 3 days. 3. Bath room very slippery no shower door and the water went from nice to scalding to cold. With soap and 2 shampoo's with no washes. I will not be saying there again.
