Mark

Liked: Room comfort
The room was okay for a budget hotel but there was an overwhelming smell of air freshener. However, I did feel comfortable in the motel and quite enjoyed my stay. I did find the reception staff member/manager - short, abrupt, unfriendly and impatient to be frank. Something which would be a reason why I wouldn't stay here again. The location was excellent.

A couple of things that would have made our stay more enjoyable in the future. 1) Parking bays are far too narrow 2) At night, external lights are left on - for safety etc naturally - but these shine into the room and there isn't a way of blocking this out! 3) The shower area has no door for privacy

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
There was a good bed and the room was large. The staff were friendly but I had to go to reception to pick up my breakfast in boxes and take back to room. The water pressure was ridiculously poor to the point that I couldn't rinse my hair properly. I was in a Budget King room which faced an untidy parking lot on one side and a poorly maintained wall on the other side. Maybe the rooms on the other side of the building have a better outlook but my side was depressing and a little scary as I was travelling on my own. I felt as if I was in a ghetto.
