Budget motel with outdated interior, thin walls. Bed was comfortable and overall the apartment was spacious. No private balcony and the walls are very thin and traffic could be heard all night and day. Towels a bit rough and cheap feeling. Only hand soap provided otherwise no shampoo, conditioner or body soap. Lots of cracks in walls, door, mold in the shower, loose drain.

This was a very tired and grubby room with broken missing tiles curtain coming off the rail. The bathroom was extremely outdated and dirty. It felt like this motel probably had a contract to provide accommodation to social services clients. Would not go back extremely overpriced
