The furniture and fittings were clean but quite shabby. The place could do with some money being spent on an upgrade to its facilities.

This was my second time staying here. Booked for 2 nights but due to building work going on there. I checked out after 1 night. Could not even get a car park. In fairness they should not be taking bookings while work going on. Location is great and not far from the city. Price is very fair and found staff friendly.

Delapidated motel. Off milk in the fridge. Peeling vinyl bathroom cabinet. Room paint was dirty. On checkin the receptionist couldnt find my reservation and had a poor manner. At least the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. Off street parking good.

My pillow was dirty, the power point in the bathroom was hanging out of the wall dangerous in my opinion. The balcony door had tape across it as it was cracked so we didn’t open the door in case it shattered.

Repairs needed particularly in the bathroom where thongs had been taken off the wall but screws remain. Replace the tiles to give a better impression. Also one has to be a dwarf to be able to get under the shower!
