While not the fault of staff or motel, people traipsing up and down the stairs along with noisy shutting of doors for the majority of the night kept us awake and with a 5 o'clock start for us, it was not good.

This was ok for a stopover point, the room was pretty clean and as we were arriving late, the checking staff left a key and clear instructions out for us. However the room had a very strong odour of cigarette smoke in it, a few cigarette burn holes in the curtains and even stronger odour in the bathroom. I am guessing a previous guest thought smoking with the fan on would cover their tracks.. it did not. When we checked out and mentioned it to the receptionist she didn’t seem bothered by it or offer any apology which would have been the least that could be done. The bath also had draining issues, after raking a bath and pulling the plug, the floor drain in the bathroom started overflowing and flooded the entire bathroom.
