Simple motel for a short stay, the general basics are included eg utensils, kettle and bar fridge. Single mattress is really old - sunk into it and room had an odour to it. All in all it sufficed for a cheap short stay

I am very disappointed with the lack of response regarding my refund request. We had to cancel our hotel reservation due to my wife’s health issues, we cancelled before 24 hours according to their policy, but despite multiple emails, I have received no acknowledgment or assistance. This poor customer service is extremely frustrating and unacceptable.
