Unit was fine, however, a splash of paint would be better especially on doors. Shampoo system in shower was a bit high for short folk. Other than above it was good. Afterthought. Book said free pickup for casino, apparently thats not available now. Might pay to remove it.

The staff at check in was nice, nothing special, the room was clean. Very disappointed in the condition of the motel. Dates, had a horrible odour throughout the rooms and bathroom. Tiny amount of toilet paper and generally poor.

Tried to check in 2.30pm and room wasnt ready. Room looked different to photos but I must say the one I got seemed more spacious and cozy. I had horrendous squeeky stairs to walk up and down which made me feel bad for the room that was next to me. And also in my room there were spots that if you walk it sounded like i was banging on the wall 😅 Room service could come at better times as everyday was very different, and I had to keep asking for toilet paper. The last day I was there I got some without asking so I was very thankful for that. I was there 6 nights.

I am satisfied about accommodation but I am not happy about they wrote my card details in paper I told I paid already but still I don’t know why ? This is my first experience. I saw your mail today don’t share your card details then why they took the details. So am worried Thank you

The motel seems "tired" and in need of a do oover. The furniture and applicances are very dated and do not all work. Just an overall worn look to everything. The size of the TV seems very small compared to the rooms and that didn't work anyway. The people did their very best and it was appreciated being given a different room. Thank you. The hot water this morning was cold and I left very early. The booking was for a studio unit which looked lovely ij the picture but treality was not like that. I was given another type as the studio unit wasn't available. I couldn't recommend this place until it get's an ugrade. Glad it was for just one night.

The property is very conveniently located to the city. The room was also quiet & I didn't hear the neighbours, either to the side or above. Check in was a nightmare as I arrived at 630pm. The office was locked with no-one inside. In addition the phone number that was posted on the door went unanswered despite calling & leaving messageS, plural. I eventually got in around 40mins after arriving once I got the attention of an off duty maid. This needs to be fixed. The room was clean, tidy & quiet. My only criticism were that the bathroom clearly had no insulation & was freezing. There were also tacks sticking up from where the bathroom & main room met. Apart from that it was fine.
