Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Run down room with awfully uncomfortable bed. The toilet was leaking badly, leaving a large unhygienic puddle on the floor. The staff was very rude and unconcerned about it. Did not clean it up nor washed the floor with a disinfectant. One had to trod on the dirty wet floor every time one had to go to the bathroom. Management should have at least refunded some money as I did not get the room I paid for and probably picked up some infection.

This is a very basic motel, minimal facilities, dated and very expensive for what you get. Only booked as it was the only motel in town available for our need. The location is quite noisey even though it is situated behind the pub itself.
