We took our bags in debated if we really could tell if something terrible had happened here or not. In desperate need of standard maintenance. Not sure where the room in the photo was but it was definitely not the one i booked for 240 a night. We left and booked elsewhere

Accommodation did NOT match the photos in any way, extremely miss leading. Fridge did not work, graffiti on the heater in lounge area, dirty foot prints on wall in bedroom, stains on single bed bedspread, dead insects on whole roof of bathroom. Desperately needs a fresh makeover. Bed linen was clean tho.

There was no smoke detector in my room, the hot water was scalding and I was almost burned and the TV did not work after several requests to fix it. The room needed to be refurbished because it was used as a motel for the homeless.

Sooo... disappointed and never going to go back to the motel again. Yes! I have the reason with proof. I booked this motel seeing the 3 star facility listed in the site with pictures. I was with my family of 6 including my kids.The room number was 20, and the lady receptionist pointed us a stair which was really unsafe to climb. I paid for 2 nights prior going there. Please dont do this.Pool facility- no privacy, water temperature was too hot (1st day was okay,dont know why the next night water was super hot). Room : very fluffly pillow and mattress. Poorly maintained. Kitchen : found cocroaches , oven wasnt thay safe to use. Bathroom : very small shower box with no latches and the shower tap was wall mounted with leak. Dining table sheets were torned. Over all experience : poor

If I could give this minus stars I would. The place is a dump ! The private pool was filthy ! I walked in and walked out! Lost my money but couldn’t stay in the place for another minute. I told the last at the reception that the pool was empty and dirty . She said you can fill it ! Honestly! The room was horrendous! Give this place a wide birth !

Terrible room and property, did not match the pictures or reviews . I wish that I could attach photographs of curtains hanging off rails , dirty floors , outdated mismatched toilet & bathroom fixtures & fittings . The kitchen was filthy I would not even have made a coffee. Didn’t unpack and only stayed one of our two booked nights the lady checking us in was friendly and the bed linen was clean which was the only reason we stayed one night . Definitely NOT recommend!!!!
