Breakfast was average wasn't worth the price . the Motel needs updating carpets were dirty and decorating is a must . the room that we stayed in had black mould on the walls and the room smelt of stale smoke . I can only presume that the carpets hadn't been cleaned for years !! Pictures on booking site did not match the room we stayed in

Very poor

The room was very basic, bedding looked clean, however the the rest if the room and bathroom was questionable, stains on the carpet, cracked bath panel, and smelt of old dirt. the bed very uncomfortable, heavily used as it had massively dipped in the middle, throughout the night whenever anyone else in the motel turned on the tap, flushed the toilet or had a shower you could hear the noise of the water rushing through the pipes, ridiculously loud to the point where it stopped me sleeping. Unfortunately there wasnt anyone at reception on my departure to speak to about these issues.

The decor was not at all appealing. They had no wallpaper on the walls as it had all been ripped off. The carpets were dirty, the staff were rude at the front desk.
