Room was filthy have taken photos if needed. Stains on carpet, dirty walls, holes in wall in toilet, picture in toilet fell off the wall nearly hitting one of my children. Electrical plugs in kitchen sticky and dirty. Coffee cups dirty in the cupboard. Blinds dirty in bathroom. People staying in room above us partied until 2am very loud. Not a great stay away from home unfortunately. Wouldn’t recommend.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
A bit run down and in need of some updating. The beds are really hard, the parking is difficult with very little space, wardrobe doors that don't stay closed, and there is no soap dish in the shower! Lots of paint scrapes on the walls & milk wasn't replenished all weekend. The place just needs a bit of money put towards better presentation, especially given the area it's in.

Good location let down by lack of maintenance

Pros: good location, traffic noise not too loud, beds reasonably comfortable. Cons: Very much not cleaned regularly or properly, ants in kitchen, toilet not cleaned. Nowhere near enough power points, staff difficult to find even during opening hours. It seems like this place has been gradually falling into disrepair and the kitchen was well overdue a remodel with broken cupboards and lots of grime everywhere. I would probably have been a lot more happy with this place if it was a ‘you get what you pay for’ deal but it was substantially more expensive than a much cleaner and more spacious motel just down the road which we also stayed at. Would not recommend unfortunately.
