Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The owners could not speak English, it was very difficult to communicate with them. The photos on the website did not match what it really looked like. The 'spa' was cracked & very old. There was only 1 dishtowel & nothing to wipe the counters with. The website said that there was coffee & a plunger in the room, biscuits on arrival, hairdryer & toiletries - there none of those things, only a liquid soap dispenser. The bathroom looked nothing like the photo, the floor was old & stained. There was no nice shower cubical & no nice basin as per the photos on the website. Very disappointing.

Tired, but comfy and budget friendly
This is a slightly tired and dated motel, but for the price paid we cannot complain. The “spa tub” bath has seen better days , and we would not have wanted to sit in it, but for showering it was acceptable. We slept very well as the bed was surprisingly comfortable.

Cleanness is not very good and needs a lot of work done in the bathroom area toilet seat was broken and I had my 4yr daughter that was scared to sit on the seat. It’s disappointing this property staff were friendly but rooms definitely need work and upgrading.
