Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
lights were gone, shower hardly working.
Motel is cheap $82 is not bad but good shower needed after work
The bedroom and ensuite were moderately comfortable and clean.
The communal kitchen needed a good clean, especially the table. The kitchen tea towels and dishcloth were filthy and need regular/daily replacement, if you want guests to complete the job of cleaning and putting away their own dishes,

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were basic and a little dated, but clean. Was fine for the overnight we needed
No TV, poor wifi, hot water ran out very quickly, no lift, doors hard to open with only 1 key, windows easily accessed from outside.
On positive side, cleanish and quieter than expected. Close to restaurant and cafes.
