The motor lodge did not have a reception on site, no communication prior to check in regarding this. We had to go looking for the reception only to find a sign to go to a different motor lodge down the road and check in there. We went to check in a few streets away and then returned to the motor lodge. Upon returning we noticed some shifty characters around the area eyeing us off. The place was empty besides us, as we unpacked our backs they were looking at us. We went into the room to find the door did not lock properly, the bathroom was dirty with mould and had not been cleaned properly. We saw a cockroach on the sink near the fridge. Ultimately this place DID NOT FEEL SAFE. We decided to leave the place and sought alternate accommodation.

Difficult to find as small sign not lit up. I had to go to another motel up the road to collect the key. This info was not provided before arrival. I had to ring for directions after using Google Maps and then got told to come to the DuPont for key.
