Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was just a 1 night stay . Average accommodation as aspected. Nothing outstanding. But clean and tidy
Ants in the bathroom, beds uncomfortable, bathroom mouldy, facilities very very old and dated, no kitchen sink, could hear people walking around in rooms above us. Would not stay again
Lots of things need maintenance,
Shower was blocked, shower door need repairing. Toilet door wouldn’t close, shower only had warm water. No milk or tea in the room.
We were very happy with our stay here. Fantastic check in with a friendly face. The rooms (we booked two) were great, very clean and we loved the individual themes and the decor to match. The folder in the room with information about the motel itself and the surrounding areas (including menus) and the artist/theme of the room you were in was very comprehensive and a lovely touch. Certainly made our stay that much better because of it. Thank you
