Good men, good service. Though TV was not working, fridge making loud noise especially at night.

Close to multiple food options and not to far from the ferry.

Close to motorway, but very quiet. Picking up key from not open office caused little problem, but otherwise good.

Was good for 1 night stay. King size bed was comfortable. Room was spacious & clean. Shower door did not fully close, fridge door may need a new seal? Good value for money.

The room was okay. The shower was really low on the wall, so doesn’t help if you are tall like me. There was no fan in the bathroom so everything fogged up. The toilet cistern was dripping all night. TV reception was pixelated on all channels. The heater had a broken stand.

Very nice stay thank you

The property seemed nearly empty, yet we were given a room in a cold dark corner, next to the skip. The condensation was impressive. There was not enough cutlery for the number of people the room catered for. As at 6 am, the looked door popped open of its own accord! Unsafe. Stay somewhere else.

The beds were so comfortable! The shower pressure was excellent. There was full cooking facilities including an oven and fridge/freezer.

Did not expect to see at least four shopping trundlers and a couple of road cones out of our window on the property. Property needs a general update. Staff friendly. Conviently situated, a walk to town and transport.

Noisy bathroom fan.

Although the rooms were large enough and clean. It was scruffy with some peeling paint and edges of the wall paper, the bath tub had no taps and was unusable, the shower door did not close fully and no holders for soaps and shampoos and had to use the floor. doors either were very tight to close and open or blew open with the wind. I believe the accommodation is over priced for what you get.

The Property Manager was excellent, but the motel units are extremely tired and need upgrading. The bathrooms in particular were not up to standard. It is a good location.

Rained at night and there is a break in the gutter above room 5 from the second floor, couldn't sleep while a fountain of water was hitting the ground right beside my room window all night. Room was clean and tidy.
