Great value, did the job.

Quiet, warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Quirky vibe. Bathroom needed a do-up: toilet lid wouldn't stay up as the cistern was in the way. Shower had good pressure but needed a better clean. Nice clean linen. Great having a wee kitchen of our own. Good parking.

Despite the wall heater not working the unit was warm and quiet and although dated exceeded our expectations. Criticisms, the shower tray was not level and did not drain completely, bathroom floor slippery when wet, bed was ok but a duvet would be nicer than blankets and a foam topper pad more comfortable. Fix the heater.

The room was great. It was cold on arrival and did not heat up very well during the night. We used the small extra fan heater which worked but only in it's immediate vicinity. If it was warmer, i would have rated comfort a 5.

Good service upon check in, very spacious unit. Unit smelled mouldy, there were rips in the carpet, dripping taps, evidence of water egress into the unit. Shower had very low pressure, only ventilation in bathroom was a window that when opened gave access physically and visually to any other guests walking past. Definitely NOT a 4 star motel.

The motel room we stayed in was upstairs. It was really nice to arrive to the heater turned on. It was clean and tidy. The parking for a bigger/ longer vechile is a bit problematic, you may have to park on the road but it is a great location so close to town. The black mold in the bathroom that has been painted over is not ideal. It would be nice to see an extractor fan / heater put in the bathroom although the windows can be fully opened. Also guests arriving late at night or walking past room upstairs / sound is a bit loud during sleeping hours. But at the end of the day for value for money it is a good place to stay.
