The whole thing was so bad. There was never anyone at reception. They didn’t check any details. I literally could have been anyone. The rooms were actually horrendous and we slept fully clothed because it was so gross! We didn’t even shower there because it was so bad!

Had to wait 35 mins to get a room as room was not made up. They had ample time to do this. Electric blanket had power issues as one side worked and the other side didn’t. Was not game to use as I might have got electrocuted. Looked like there was dry blood stain on sheet. I would not recommend to anyone.

We arrived at 315, no staff on site and room wasn’t ready. Came back 2 hours later to check in and got into the room. It was horrible, looked like bad emergency accommodation. Too many things wrong to even explain. The spray painted walls with overspray on the door just one thing. It was so bad that we booked another motel and left as soon as we could. Do not waste your money here, you will live to regret it!

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.
