Room A needs a complete overhaul. The ceiling in the room has water stains and paint peeling, the walls looked like they needed cleaning or repainting and the window sills had bugs and dust on them. The bathroom ceiling was worse. It looked like it was going to collapse. The exhaust fan is in desperate need of a clean - full of dust. The mirror was masking taped to the wall. With no shower screen the floor got very wet and there was inadequate hanging space to dry out the floor mat. The pull out clothes line can't hold a drenched floor mat. The location of the motel is awesome though. Pacific Fair, the casino, the beach and the light rail all are within walking distance.

It is a convenient hotel near Broardbeach. The staff are courteous and the sheets, towels and everything is clean. The rooms could do with a makeover butt they are cheap so I'm satisfied.

The room was fine ! But the tv was old ! And I couldn’t watch Netflix or YouTube . Hot water in shower kept going cold so the shower wasn’t very good either. At one point there was no hot water.
