The only positive about this place is location - 10mins from the airport. Everything else was a massive let down. It was unsanitary and unsafe to say the least. we waited over 20 minutes for staff to attend to the front desk, despite phoning a few times with no answer. This was at approx. 5pm on a Monday afternoon, well within opening hours for check-in. While waiting, we noticed smoke coming out from the lights above the front desk. Once we had our key and arrived at the room, we found the key did not work after talking to management and finally getting a working key, we found the room smelt like people had been chain smoking in there, springs coming out the bed, pillows had literally no stuffing in them, window hardly opened and the window cover was filthy (literally black), the walls were yellow, and the bathroom was worse than a prison cell. We won't be back or recommending this place to anyone.

We just needed a bed for the night after a very long day and we had stayed at an Ibis before so new how basic the accommodation would be.
The room was clean, not a fan of the shower/toilet layout but the shower was hot.
The motel is located with train line at one end and main road at the other - overall noisy and didn't sleep well.

There was rude writing under the top bunk, there was a stain on the roof, there was mold in the vent in the bathroom, and the top bunk bed wasn’t made.

Didnt like the the tight fit on one side of bed. Hardly had room to get into bed. And toilet in shower room was much too small. Step up into shower and toilet was too high and possibly dangerous if slippery.
