The staff were courteous and bed was comfortable. The motel was probably very nice 30 odd years ago however it is very tired and old now. There was rubbish under a bed and behind the fridge, there was mould around the joinery, water stains on the ceilings and down the walls from leaks.

I would rate this place 4 out of 10 due to the overall quality of the room. The property feels quite old, with very dated cupboards. The cutlery stored in the cupboards did not appear clean, which made me hesitant to use it. The room layout was unusual, as the bedroom was accessed via a hallway through the bathroom. While the beds were neatly made, the carpet did not look clean. The dining chair covers were dusty, and overall the room did not feel well maintained. Unfortunately, it was not a great stay for us.
