Good stay

Very clean and comfortable but showing its age. There isn’t a daily room service but that wasn’t a problem as I was only there for 3 nights. Mine hosts very considerate and friendly. I would stay here again.

Dirty over priced dump. Towels were thin as rags and one was covered in poo. No milk. Someone needs to shut the place down so nobody else books it.

Unfortunately, I was too unwell to travel, and I was also so sick that I was unable to change my booking. The process for changing my booking is a lengthy and painful process of which I was not in the right frame of mind to do so.

I liked the receptionist I thought the brother's workers where nice. The bed was comfortable. The price of accommodation was excellent. I disliked that the lamp on the left side didn’t work. The toilet at the back leaked. The shower had left over hair in it. The television didn't have a remote. The first draw was broken.

Verified traveler

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Overpriced and under delivered

Rooms are very dark and very shocking excuse for interior design. Beds would walk around floor whilst sleeping. Would have been more comfortable to have slept on the floor rather than the bed. Only 1 bath towel, half roll of toilet paper, no crockery or cutlery in room. Microwave had wrong glass plate so didn't turn properly and banged around. Door latch continually jammed open so took some time to ensure door into room was actually closed and secured. Laundry facilities mentioned on website, on arrival found laundry room and was locked. Upon asking staff we were told they don't facilitate laundry facilities. With the price per night not being the cheapest but on par with multiple other motels in area, rooms were definitely do not reflect the price paid per night.

The rooms were dirty and unkempt used vapes were under the bed The TV did not work, the heater was noisy and falling apart .The towel rails were held together with tape the cupboards did not open-we slept on our coats covering the filthy pillows and linen The place was a glorified homeless shelter.Do not say here if you value your health-and if you choose to ignore this review bring insect spray to deal with the giant cockroaches that lurk along the side and back of the beds.And an added bonus is the open drain in front of your room.
