Close to town centre
Parking average
Close to main road
Tired condition but clean and tidy
Ok for price and was ok for a stay just not flash
Dirty especiallythe shower, holes in walls, ni smike detector, every thing patched up with dirty white tape, no shampoo only soap, no milk provided. Im heading home to shower.
The property is beyond tired, I'd guess it is primarily used for social housing. Did not feel safe for 2 female travelers. We considered going to the warehouse to purchase new bedding. In the end we stayed with other friends. The man that checked us in was polite. Would not recommend under any circumstance.
The room was nothing like the photos, there were large stains on the floor. It wasn’t the cleanest. On the photos the carpet was newer and there was an aircon on the wall which seems to have been placed there for the photos. No smoke alarm and the tv had no channels.

I appreciate that there are old photos in the advertisement for the motel and that it is in need of tlc. I found the owners to be friendly and helpful. IReception is clean and tidy, my unit with a little more cleaning would be great the bed was comfortable and apart from the noise of the traffic my stay was okay but it was ruined by a rowdy, rude male next door to ruin it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Stained towels, bedding not tucked in, curtains not hung properly so light pours in at night, just generally in poor condition all round.
The property was very old and in poor condition.
It appears as though it is being updated and this could change things. The proprietor was very nice.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Pretty basic, free toiletries were just 2 small soap bars only, the 2 towels for showers were the size of larger teatowels, walls had holes covered with tape and painted over and the free wifi kept disconnecting to the extent l had to hotspot from my phone so l could watch programs from my laptop.
The unit we had was in a very bad, unkempt condition as was the grounds. I doubt if I would bother book there again. The staff I dealt with were friendly tho so that is a plus. Hope they can do better. It's a tough old world out there
Although clean, the motel was basic and dated with walls that could do with a coat of paint and repairs which had been done were obvious by the different shades of paint. The exterior area was weed ridden and overgrown and the driveway and paths holed. Very noisey with the trucks driving past in close proximity. The one staff member was pleasant although we had to ring him to get attention.Would not recommend nor use again.
It was damp, slugs on the floors and condensation max! It was dripping onto the floor during the night. The toilet had issues in the middle of the night we couldn’t fix so was awake from the noise from 3am onwards. Very sad but the staff were friendly.
We booked 2 rooms, no hot water. Bed uncomfortable, could feel the coils. Noisy street. Sink had no plug, no cloth to wash dishes and no tea towel. Looked like they had revamped the toilet seat with a paint.
