Bed was very hard, bathroom was dirty, bed sheets and duvet cover had stains on them, James the owner or Manager was not helpful at all! Double booked on my first night which I had to go find another accommodation out of my own pocket! Office always closed, only talked through messages and phone calls! Worse experience ever, will never recommend to anyone!

Old but quiet

Motel is in the middle of a residential area away from main roads or the centre of town. It is very old with a tiny kitchen area and old bathroom (door had been removed from toilet to try and make more room in a pokey space). I would guess that the motel was built early 1960’s and they have splashed some paint around to try and modernise. The motel is not manned - the company sent a code to access a locked box outside the unit to obtain the key.
