Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This motel was very average. Although it’s clearly had a paint job in the last few years it really needed some maintenance done. The shower leaked badly & could really do with a decent clean. Reception didn’t appear to have anyone there at anytime, so getting clean towels etc was hard work. The only thing it had going for it was a comfortable bed!
