8/10 Very good

For the price and location was a decent stay. Comfortable beds, accommodating staff. The room was big enough for two people.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Good for a one night stay in a no fuss accommodation. The motel is not the most modern but has a comfortable bed, with a nice shower with a mini fridge in a spacious room. It can smell like cigarette smoke but it is older so to be expected. I will stay here again. The staff are friendly & accommodating.

This motel is nothing like the pictures, it is dirty and filthy and not looked after at all … There were food pieces on the walls in the bathroom like someone had vomit in there and missed the toilet all together, the floors all were dirty and stained. Curtains were ripped. This motel has loads of people living there permanently. We had no choice but to stay there for the night as we got there late…. We slept on top Of the blankets in our clothes.

This is one of the worst motels I’ve ever stayed in. Filthy, stunk and they stuffed up our reservation. Next time I think I’ll stay in a bus shelter if I’m struggling to find something. I cannot recommend anything less than I recommend this shi$hole.
