Clean room friendly staff quiet location
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Beds were nice and comfortable with lovely clean sheets as one would expect. Very happy with the staff and the location. Excellent parking. The motel is getting dated and the carpet in our room looked in need of a good clean also the vent in the bathroom was very dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned for quite some time. Being on the wall it would be so easy to clean - not sure why someone just hasn't taken 5 minutes to clean it - it just makes you wonder if the rest of the room is just given a quick clean.
