Wasn't expecting too much for the price, but my stay for work was okay; the host was great - friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and had all the basic facilities - comfy bed and fresh towels daily. Instant hot water in the bathroom, shower a bit dated but everything worked as it should. Only gripe was no sink in the kitchen to wash up dirty plates, cutlery etc, so needed to do so in the wash basin in the bathroom. Overall not a bad stay.

The man running motel is rude & unfriendly, did not allow me to book in an hour early, I asked to not have rooms done for fear of my property, when I asked for tangs & sugar his reply was “ that’s what you get fir not getting room done! “ had also said to be quiet as walls thin & toilet roll holder is so far back it’s silly, lastly furniture holding kettle & microwave wobbled badly! Won’t be going back there!

Disappointing

Disappointed - no milk in the fridge or shampoo in bathroom, wi-fi was terrible, reception not professional on check. Definitely not a 7.8 in my eyes.
