Liked: Cleanliness
Room was dark and in need of a full refurbishment. Stayed for 6 nights and on one occasion bed wasn’t made, rubbish not collected and only 1 towel replaced. Motel was hard to find because hedge is growing over the sign and signage on the building doesn’t show up very well. TV so small it was difficult to watch. Overall the place just looks very tired.
