We didn't like the bed that folded us like bananas. We didn't like the shower door handle that had a three inch screw coming out the back. This threatened to disembowel us. We didn't like the paper thin towels. The propert has good potential that is being ruined by sloppy workmanship. Forget putting in a pool and pay attention to detail.

Please improve your cleaning!

The location is convenient but the room was not cleaned properly such carpet, fridge, bed, bathroom, table and chairs even the toilet wasn’t flushed properly when I received the room. I hope they can do deep clean once and keep it in good condition from there . If they can improve their cleanliness, they will have more clients. I won’t be back with this cleaning. I don’t mind old furnitures but at least they are clean properly. So disappointed!

Uncomfortable stay.

The cleanliness of this motel was appalling. The dining chairs were disgustingly filthy. A pillow case was stained. The bed sheets were not flattened out or neat and tidy. The beds were so soft, they are ready for replacement. The shower alcove had a missing door handle. The manager did do his best to amend, however, i wouldn't be recommending.

Was dubious after reading other reviews. For the price of the room we were pleasantly surprised and would stay there again. I would give it a three star rating out of five. Obviously the rooms could be improved but we were quite comfortable.
