Location and price were great. Shower was AMAZING! Had decent pressure. The room was cold especially at night and the small wall heater didn't really do anything so had to wear an extra layer under pjs and socks on. The lounge had no spare sockets to use as they were being used for appliances etc so couldn't charge phone next to bed.

Service was friendly. Price was good. Outside of motel needed a real clean up. Our upstairs room was quiet. Room needed a real tidy up and was not particularly clean. The grounds were in need of a good tidy up. There were cigarette butts on the walkway outside our room that didnt get cleaned up in our 4 night stay.

I'll start by saying the location was quite good. I walked in the room and while it seemed fine for a cheap 1 bedroom with 3 beds (2 twins in the main area) I noticed an unpleasant smell. I couldntquite tell where it was cominv from as everything appeared clean. I then sat down in 1 of the 2 tub chars (that were covered with cgair covers) to find that was the source of the smell. I tried to beutralhze the snell with essential oils and candles to no avail. Looted like the bathroom was recently renovated though..... it was the nicest oart of the room. 2 of the 3 nights we stayed the room lost lughts and hot water.
