First impressions if the motel are good and of the room are it looks okay. However, on using the shower the shower basin was slow to empty, on using the bed it was a shocker, sheer junk, needs replacing. The bedside lamps didn't work either. Breakfast was good and reflective of a good continental breakfast.

Rooms were ok but they had a really strong smell of mould. Building surrounds could use some love to, as the outside court yard was not suitable for the kids to run around in
