Clean room but very noisy being right next to the road. I was the only person staying at the property so would have preferred a room set back from the street. Also the wifi was very weak. Free parking was great and room amenities were fine.

Arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and the office was closed. Phoned the Motel, and had to go down the road to another motel and phone again to get a code for the lockbox to retrieve the key, then drive back to the motel we'd booked. The room had broken bits and pieces, lamp plug bent, window in kitchen wouldn't close and needs fixing properly. Switches on the plug in kitchen looked dodgy. You can feel the springs through the mattress. General cleaniless was poor. No facecloths. Parking beside unit. Felt like a ghost town, hardly anyone around. It was cheap and it served a purpose for sleeping instead of driving tired.

The queen bed was broken and checking in and out was very confusing due to lack of communication on what they required for their processes. The room was rough with exposed plaster patch work showing, blinds hanging on for dear life and cupboard doors also broken barely hanging on. There was not tissues or face cloths, just 3 towles and a bath mat. The positives were the size of the room was awesome, felt private and cosy. Heating, tv and wifi all fuctional. For the price it was workable for 1 night stay.

This is quite embarrassing but late afternoon a staff member unlocked and opened the door. I was having an intimate moment with my partner and dont know who was more shocked. Neither of us heard a knock wherher there was one or not i cant say. Wouldnt stop me going back but may be good for them to let ALL staff not to go into a room when occupied

No office on site, had walk down the road to another hotel to get the key. Room was not serviced at all while I was there. No smoke alarm in the unit. Unit was tidy, quiet and quite nice, shame about the rest.
