We booked two studios. The location is excellent however the rooms have a lot of issues. We had broken drawers, no tea towels, no facecloths, no toilet roll holder, broken towel rail, expired milk sachets, no storage in one room, no sky but sign says has 60 sky channels, broken light switches and power outlets were disfigured, dirty cups, dishwashing liquid in Pepsi and Powerade bottles, 1 pillow each on bed per person. If you want a cheap motel to just sleep overnight and spend little time in then that’s fine but really needs some TLC and updating.

When we arrived they had no record of our booking even though we had paid in advance, they put us in a room that looked nothing like the pictures online and smelled damp. Advertised as having 50+ sky channels but not in our room. No hair dryer, the coffee maker was an electric jug. Not great.

Smells of Mold, old used soap and pubic hair in the shower, mess on the carpets and a general feeling of grottyness. It's like a concrete garage. The customer left after one night, yet they got paid for two nights. We would like a refund. This property is falsely advertising with its pictures and write up.

Simple and welcoming

The host was welcoming and the unit was tidy. It was an older part of the complex but the room was suitable for an overnight stay. I have stayed here previously in the newer units which are nice. Unfortunately, the hot water did not work which was frustrating for showers in the morning. Hopefully that was fixed after our stay.

The room stunk when we walked in. There was no smoke alarm, and when notified staff didnt remedy. There was slimy marks on the walls and also a lipstick kiss mark above the headboard. The rubbish bin was broken. There was burn marks on the duvet. And the shower door rollers were rusted and not moving.

A little tricky getting out into traffic as right on the intersection of a busy road at rush hour times even on a saturday. But friendly staff, clean and fresh room. When we got back to our room someone else had taken our park in front of our room, however we could still park in the hotel gounds. All in all great place to stay

Disappointing stay

The smell in the room was vile to say the least! Cross between musty and wet carpet. The bed was so hard and only 2 awful pillows. No facecloths or hand towels were supplied and the shower was so old its not cleanable. Nothing executive about this property.
