Booked a 2 bedroom apartment. Room was nothing like the pictures. Riddled with ants. Bathroom light didn’t work (had to use a phone torch to go to the toilet overnight). Double bed was on a lean which made it uncomfortable. Dirty couches.

It was okay as we were only there for the night. The beds were nice and comfortable and clean, but I think the sofas needs to be changed as it is a bit outdated.

This is an outdated motel but its well maintained regularly i guess, could use a refurbishment or remodelling on their bathroom.Good kitchen facilities and everything in working order with complete utensil etc. Good selection of tv channels as they have Sky. I choose this initially because the rating is 8 but for me it’s only 7ish
