This property is badly rundown and in desperate need of some TLC. No hot water when we arrived and to be fair, the manager offered to find us another place or give us a discount. We decided to stay, as we were really tired! It would have been a really classy place once and probably could be again but it would take a huge investment!

The place is well located and the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, the quality of the room wasn’t good. Not very clean and lots of things missing: kettle, soap, sponge, only 2 glasses/ 1 cup/ 2 plates for 4 people. We asked the friendly guy working there and we got a few more things. We had to wash again the cutlery and plates before using them. The windows were very dirty, etc. The place has a lot of potential but needs some improvement.

Dated decor, uncomfortable bed, but clean and tidy

The check in was fine, the proprietor was friendly and attentive. The room smelled musty and damp and had very dated decor, but it was clean and tidy. The motel was right on the main road, but the traffic noise wasn't too bad.
