The staff was friendly It was a bit out dated A lot of out side noise while people were staying there
The side of the bed had a stain on it just the side noise
Never again
It seemed like the motel has long staying guests who were noisy and had a party during the night. There was a dog running round and extra visitors
The shower pressure was great but The linings had come away from the in places. No plug in the hand basin. The whole place needed a thorough clean. A 1970's. run down building. The table had cobwebs hanging down.And the outside furniture was very rusty.
As above
Poor
Dirty, noisy and expensive
That it had its own bathroom shower stove fridge had everything you needed
Overall was pretty good
The beds were at least comfy.
Didn't like the terrible language from the other tenants. Couldn't use our car park because they parked their cars and motorbike in our spot. Didn't like the wind whistling through the closed windows all night. Wouldn't go back.
Location
Everything, noise from upstairs people, hard bed. Wouldn’t use again
The staff were amazing, very friendly and kind. Very understanding when we misplaced our key. The room was a decent size. It's also close to basically everything, very easy to navigate to and from. It has sky tv which was good for our son as it kept him entertained while we were trying to figure out where we were going. The beds were comfy and a decent size
The room smelled like someone had been smoking inside, it felt damp and it looked a bit different from the pictures, the pictures looked like they were taken 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure the dampness made my son sick because he got a fever on the second night, and wouldn't stop coughing. As we were packing up I lifted up the bed skirt to check under the bed and it smelled really musty and made me immediately nauseous. I was on a tight budget and that's what this motor inn felt like too. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone travelling with a young child or anyone older than 60.
Disappointing
Didn't like that the motel is used for emergency housing - my daughter did not feel safe with her young children there so left. We would not have booked if we knew that. The reality of the motel was very different to what was advertised. Mouldy curtains and the whole place felt unclean.
The location, the full kitchen and sky television.
The room smelled musty. The beds were very uncomfortable.fortable. we paid for 5 guests but only had 4 plates, knives, spoons etc.
Didn't have breakfast
The rooms and especially the bathroom needed a much needed face lift. Location was excellent, but disappointed in condition of place for the price.
It was not a good...
It was rundown and it is home to quite a few permanent residents, we had one resident that would not stop continually coming to our rooms. If you had a area for the travellers and one for the permanent residents it would not have been so bad but your all mixed in. At times you felt uncomfortable I would not recommend staying here to anyone. The owner needs to either make it a place for permanent residents or a motel not both. I am sure they get sick of people coming in and out of there space as well.
Location is great handy to city centre, staff member was friendly. Shower was hot and had great pressure, double bed was comfortable. Good car parking in site.
As stated by a number of other reviews the place is very tired, could do with replacing furniture and fittings. I did not enjoy other guests keeping us awake until 2am in the morning with their kids running up and down outside other units yelling and screaming. There was a lack of usable power points for charging phones. The windows were hard to open and as stated there were no power points to plug in the electric fans to cool the rooms down.
Its proximity to the town centre.
It was not that clean, the beds were too soft and the kitchenette basic.
Never again
The motel looked like it had long stay residence who partied all night. We did not feel safe in this environment!
Close to town and cheap
There were very intimidating people staying in the premises. There was a dog 2nd room over that barked at 6am each morning. The cleaning of the room was slack considering there was left over food still in the fridge.
