Bed was very hard, bathroom was dirty, bed sheets and duvet cover had stains on them, James the owner or Manager was not helpful at all! Double booked on my first night which I had to go find another accommodation out of my own pocket! Office always closed, only talked through messages and phone calls! Worse experience ever, will never recommend to anyone!

Old but quiet

Motel is in the middle of a residential area away from main roads or the centre of town. It is very old with a tiny kitchen area and old bathroom (door had been removed from toilet to try and make more room in a pokey space). I would guess that the motel was built early 1960’s and they have splashed some paint around to try and modernise. The motel is not manned - the company sent a code to access a locked box outside the unit to obtain the key.

Arrived and the person was pleasant. However the key was not where they said it was which led to a longer wait time. The pool is stated online as open year round but it was closed. The playground is a hazard, the slide is rusty, the swing and seesaw were as well. There were no other options for kids. Shower is very slippery with no hand rail or extraction fan. A tv is definitely needing in the rooms with the queen bed in. There are locks on the bedrooms that should not be there. Bathroom doesnt lock and for the amount of money spent for 1 night i have to say it was seriously not worth it.
