It was in bad condition. It was very dirty it smelled mouldy. We couldn’t use the pillows they smelled. It is situated in a good place close to everything.
Dorothy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was clean and tidy, beds comfortable. The self check in proved to be a bit difficult at first with no clear instructions of holding down both switches to open the key lock, but got there in the end.
Geraldine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We have stayed at the motel before and liked the situation. We did not like the E “check in”.

Carmel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Booked this property, no reception, self check in, someone was sleeping in the bed. Had to go to other motel, which was very basic. Parking very tight

Needs refurbish. Curtain on front window awful. Poor lighting for reading. Kitchen tap very stiff. I couldnt turn it off for awhile. Good hot shower!

Vineel, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was fine, clean and comfortable enough with nice bathroom and shower although the toilet seat (room 2) needs securing properly.Sadly the bed had electric blankets under the 'not so' fitted sheets, which was odd given it is summer, which were most uncomfortable during the night as we could feel the wires and controls digging into us, such a shame. The area was quiet but we could hear people in the other rooms quite clearly, someone even snoring so no sound proofing in these rooms!! Pleasant location and safe parking.
Glynnis, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Got there late at night and the locating the keys and settling down was easy. Bit of fus with the TV because there was no sound, but it just needed to be restarted. Getting confirmation of the booking was a bit of extra work to get in contact when working busy hours.
Blake, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Had trouble with your lady wanting my bank details .I noticed on your email disclaimer saying dont give bank details after dealing with Expeditor.Banks are telling us also. I got to your place and had no power. Your man got there and sorted that problem . Went into bathroom and there was electrical packaging on the vanity and finally the TV wouldnt allow me any sky programmes as per on your TV station list.The room was otherwise tidy and bed was comfortable
