Surprisingly great! Best sleep I’ve ever had in a hotel/motel. When I pulled up I was immediately concerned. There were multiple people sitting in cars in the driveway smoking and talking.. some sitting outside the cars. Loitering basically. There were about 10plus council wheely bins over flowing with rubbish next to entry. It felt very unsafe for myself and my kids. I had no choice though and had to stay. I proceeded to my room and was pleasantly surprised. New, clean, tidy room. The beds were so so comfortable, fast wifi, shampoo, conditioner, soap dispensers etc. for the price of this room it was really good value for money. If they can hide the rubbish bins from view and do something about the loitering people, it would feel much safer & not give off a crack den hotel vibe on first glance. Also the doors need instructions on how to put in the code. I had no idea it was a digital touch keypad because it didn’t light up till you touched it in the right spot. I had no idea I had to press on it. It just looked like a card pass key system. Luckily a worker had just pulled up in his car & came and helped me.

All electronic

The area around outside the rooms was a bit untidy, but the rooms were good. The sign in was all done with no fave to face, it was a bit impersonal.

Overal it was ok for what you pay but just did not give me the best of vibes. First is the receptionist check in, fridge was tiny and door parts broken etc. heating battled and out side grounds just had rubbish piled up and it just looked in appealing. Has potential with a little attention

Affordable, easy check in, no carpets which is great for allergies and cleanliness. The orange seats could do with replacing to vinyl or leather if hard to upholstery clean 🤔

It was the full ash tray buckets outside each room which were smelly and unsightly. I also did not like the self check in service. I am sure this would be handy out of hours but there is NO reception desk / facility in business hours. Luckily there was a staff member nearby when we arrived and he gave us a key to our room. Just felt a bit odd. The room was clean but felt plain and a tad ordinary. Bedding was arranged in a strange manner. Very basic. Only one side of the electric blanket worked on the queen bed staff were apologetic when we told them as we were leaving. Overall, an average accommodation rating.
