Good location let down by lack of maintenance

Pros: good location, traffic noise not too loud, beds reasonably comfortable. Cons: Very much not cleaned regularly or properly, ants in kitchen, toilet not cleaned. Nowhere near enough power points, staff difficult to find even during opening hours. It seems like this place has been gradually falling into disrepair and the kitchen was well overdue a remodel with broken cupboards and lots of grime everywhere. I would probably have been a lot more happy with this place if it was a ‘you get what you pay for’ deal but it was substantially more expensive than a much cleaner and more spacious motel just down the road which we also stayed at. Would not recommend unfortunately.
