Carpets were stained. The mat by the front door was disgusting. The sofa bed was an insult to the price we paid. The blanket on the sofa bed was substandard. Very disappointed considering the location is perfect. Advertising is very misleading.

A bit misleading stating Newly built when in actual fact it is an older motel that has been refurbished inside the rooms. More attention to detail needed by housekeeping staff. Cobwebs and filthy iron
