2/10 Terrible

Verified traveler

Disliked: Cleanliness
The whole experience was terrible. The room was tiny, outdated, with leaking taps and beds from the 70’s. Paint peeling off the shower floor, which was in desperate need of repair. The railing on the smokers deck is wobbly and unsafe. The manager kept trying to come into the room with tradesmen, while the baby was sleeping, and my daughter getting dressed. His dog roamed freely in and out of the room. A totally unpleasant experience over all. We couldn’t wait to get out of there.

Great for a stopover

We only had a stop over at this place so it was all we needed. Large room, seperate shower and toilet which was good. The beds were fine, typical motel style beds. Room was clean and we had a room at the back of the motel so there was no roadside noise. I would stay here again if I was passing through.

Comfortable Stopover

This is a comfortable stopover for anyone needing an overnight rest. The owners were courteous, friendly and helpful as they welcomed me to their motel. Bearing in mind that it is rated 3 stars, don't expect luxuries. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean and the shower was hot! There were the basic facilities you would expect in any motel room - kettle, fridge, iron, toaster, TV - as well as free WiFi. The biggest drawback is that it is right on the highway and quite noisy.
