Two star

Romm was OK but seemed to be under renovation. Thin walls, noisy. We arrived late, but had a key code to enter and we left early in the morning so didn't see any staff. The lady who organised the key code was fine.

A true gem!

This is a conveniently located motel with lots of eating options nearby and run by lovely caring people. It is on a main road but the rooms are very quiet. Has all the essentials that you need for your stay. Would not hesitate to return or to recommend to others. Thank you for taking such good care of me during my short stay.

There was old furniture and dirty laundry everywhere. Pool unusable and filthy. Reception like an episode of hoarders, staff could barely open the door. I was shocked at the amount of money I had to pay for the nights accommodation even though it was relatively cheap!
