Really unique motel, needs a little refresh and breakfast (and cost for young kids) was disappointing, but it's quirky, well located and worth the room rate.

We loved the buffet breakfast, the staff were lovely. The room was very dated & old, but certainly served the purpose, the mattress was far too soft, as someone that loves a soft mattress I found it too soft. Personal preference I guess. Overall we enjoyed the stay, for the price we paid including breakfast I guess we can’t complain. It served a purpose for us at short notice. Location is within town centre so that was good also. The pool could do with some plants and some fencing /privacy, might make it more appealing visually. Thanks

You can't beat the location. An easy walk to shopping, pubs and restaurants. Friendly reception much appreciated after a long drive. Room was comfortable with everything you need at hand. Showing its age now but affordable.

Very tired and dated. Internet worked in reception and not in the room. Broken chair in room. Electrical wires evident. Best advice to travellers- don't stop. Go elsewhere.

Good location facility needs work and well under
Definitely has potential but facility needs work and more staff to cover basic needs. Didn’t get much sleep because of guests walking above creating noise. Toilet didn’t flush properly . Bathroom taps and shower taps were leaking and nearly came off in my hand. Television came on at 1:15am by itself and continued to do this every 15 minutes until turned off at the outlet.
