We appreciated the location, no noticeable traffic noise. We learned the room was newly renovated but the first thing I noticed was lots of UHT milk pockets - nice. But when I went to put our chilli -bin contents in there it was not cold at all even though it was would up to full coldness.
The staff were baffled as it was anew fridge - they did agree to hold our items in their own fridge.
The fridge being right on the ground would not accessible to all people. I ened up turning it off as it glowed very brightly at night, as did the TV remote light - so I turned it off at the wall. Otherwise, a good place to stay. We were just passing through, didnt use any other facilities.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room with two queen beds (sleeps 4) was small and cramped. The doors are sliding glass doors and it is am ordeal to get into room as doors and bed get in the way. Probably only 1 feet of space to squeeze into the room. The other rooms with two sinngle beds are of the same size. So if you are booking for 4 people then I will not recommend this property. There is renovation happening. Hopefully once xo.eted the rooms would be good (for 2 people).

The room is too small for double beds, one of the bed blocks half of the entry door. There is strong fishy odor coming from the back of the refrigerator and is unbearable, the front desk is locked and no one there by 8 pm to inform. No guest amenities and seems the property is under renovation. Wouldn’t have booked if I had known the property is under renovation.
Pretty good for the price you pay for standard room. Room was clean, not very spacious though it says Deluxe room.

Disliked: Staff & service
I had a late check in so called the motel and they said the would send instructions to get my key. I texted from the airport asking for the instructions some time later, and again when I was on my lay over. When I landed I texted again and finally got the instructions for check in.
I have stayed here many times in the past but the room had a make over and while the bathroom was nice the rest of the room was not as good as before. The refrigerator didn't work and now there is no desk space or a good place to set your luggage. Might be an upgrade but not an improvement
The photos used for the property online paint a very different image to what it is like in reality. The concierge area was totally empty except for the reception desk (it looks like a bar is advertised online). Half of the rooms were also under construction which was a bit of an eye sore and quite noisy from fairly early in the morning.
The room was clean and comfortable, but overall we felt that this stay didn’t meet our expectations
