Room did not present as pictured online. Bed was somewhat on the hard side to sleep on. Shared accommodation facility with socially disadvantaged people made for an uncomfortable stay. Generally the stay was acceptable but I would not return the this motel again.

I checked in Bert late in the evening and it was quick and easy. The room was very spacious but had a water leak near the front door so there was a dripping sound all night. The smoke alarm was not fitted and was hanging from the ceiling.
