Staff had trouble using the computer to check booking, only to tell me that they'd put us in a double room after booking the family room which clearly showed 2 Queen bed's and 2 singles. Had no interest in fixing the problem and told me to sort it with Expedia.

The 2 bedroom family room was very outdated and had cobwebs through doorways. There was a stale smell in the room. The updated rooms in the first section of the Motel were much nicer.

Albert

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience we’ve had at any accommodation. Lack of communication: There was no prior notice or communication regarding the check-in procedure, especially if we were arriving after the regular check-in time. When we arrived around 3:00 PM, there was no one at the reception, and we had to make a call to get assistance. Unclean facilities: The kettle provided in the room was extremely dirty, and we had to call again to request a replacement. Hygiene and safety concerns: The toilet was infested with small cockroaches, which were both unsettling and unhygienic. Additionally, I noticed that the fire alarm in the room was covered with cling wrap. I am concerned about the safety implications of this.

Room was clean and tidy with all the usual appliances, cutlery plates bowls etc. Larger room allocated in the back section that was quiet and comfortable. Good value with Al-a-Cart breakfast included that was more than sufficient to start the day. Would stay there again.

I liked that it was quiet and breakfast was provided. I didn't like the drive way which had lots of pot holes. The family room we had was very old and rundown. The room didn't look like the pictures on the website. There was no matress protector on the beds or pillow protectors. TV was not a smart TV. Windows didn't lock properly.

Do not waste your time & money with this motel. No lights in the bathroom so no one could see where they were going in the dark. Very dirty, ants throughout the kitchen, facilities including TV & internet kept switching & cutting off & not to mention bad pot holes leading to the rooms just to ruin your wheel alignment. Also a joke for free continental breakfast, all they was cereal & bread for toast which bread was rock hard & stale. Pathetic.
