On each and every occasion when we were met by staff the same friendly greeting was there. The room was clean and large and all the necessary equipment there. We thank each and every member we met.

Dated Motel”

It is a dated Motel. Curtains had stains all over it. Windows with single glazing and big gaps (heard the traffic all night long). Bed was OK apart from the itchy feeling my wife and myself got at the first night. We bought some blankets for the second night and everything was fine. Toilets in a good condition and clean. Spiderwebs in multiple locations. The reviews I have seen before do not reflect the actual status.
