We had a really nice stay at Devonwood motel always came back at the end of the day to a nice clean room, staff were really nice. Pool was also really good but it is heated so not very ideal for a hot summers day as the first time we went in it was very hot and felt like a spa pool but they added some cold water to cool it down which made it better.

Property was tidy,beds were comfortable.pool was nice and clean and staff friendly.
Only downside was that the grounds were a bit unkept and large ashtrays directly outside room (patio seatingside) hadnt been cleaned out.Also bathroom fittings (sink and shower) were heavily tarnished and the basin stained/discoloured around fixtures...making the bathroom ,although clean, unappealing.

Stayed one night to catch up friends and family. Didnt use any of the facilities but the pool looked nice. The rooms are quite large and more than adequate for a short stay
