Clean unit, friendly staff. Did not have a full private bathroom. Handbasin in bedroom without sufficient lighting, shower and toilet in another area. Extremely noisy location, traffic noise all night.

Check in was easy. The room was very spacious and great value especially if you had three people travelling together. Coffee grounds provided for brewed coffee. Comfortable beds. Would definitely stay again.

The customer service was wonderful. We found the unit very cold when we first arrived. It took a couple hours for it to heat up. Also the wifi was not very good at all.

The shower had mold in it, place was not very clean. The owners tried to take money out of my account for a bond without confronting me first and then told us we had to leave when we didnt do anything wrong and there was no damage to the property at all. The staff were very rude and made us feel so unwelcome. We weren’t allowed to cook any food without the staff coming in and telling us off then kicking us out while we were sleeping and someone was getting changed while he walked in, there was no knock on the door just walked in.

Response from Motel Owner on 16 Nov 2022
In future please be respectful and considerate of other guests in the motel. You signed terms&conditions where you will be charged for any misconduct on the property. You had 4-5 people extra visiting you and were loud during the day. You returned back to motel at midnight, being very loud and reversing the car with big exhaust at night and in the morning again 2nd car was parked in the motel although being told to park 2nd car with big exhaust outside. Cooking food with foul smell and no windows or door open. No one was changing so please don't put falsifying information on this channel. We don't charge people unnecessarily but when guests misbehave and are not considerate of others there will be consequences your card did decline. There was so much mess left afterwards which took 2 cleaners nearly 3 hours to make that unit spotless again. Units are recently painted so there is no mold anywhere. I did talk to expedia as well so I believe that you are blacklisted from their list.. Take care and be responsible..

We thought it fine for couples, but any extras would be embarrassing as shower and toilet combined. The space was so small you had to step out into the second bathroom (handbasin in there) to get dressed. Otherwise it had everything we needed.

Ok room. Toilet makes a weird thud noise when you flush it. No real kitchen. Only sink is in a bed room and tap to low to fill the kettle properly. Very loud road noise.

Older property but well kept. Bathroom facilities older but clean. The shower was hard to get cold enough. Bathroom is kind of part of second bedroom. Was cold in the unit but a heater was provided. Free Wi-Fi
