The room smelt of cigarette smoke we had to go and buy an air freshener. The sponge for the dishes was old and disgusting. No hand towels in bathroom, pillows were as thin as a slice of bread, but you get what you pay for at $114 per night. The staff were lovely and check in was easy. Burger King nearby but everything else you need to drive to.

Great place to stay, the one small niggle was slight flooding in the bathroom due to the design. It could be mitigated with a wider shower curtain that was closer to the floor. However that said, we really enjoyed our stay.
