The staff at check in was nice, nothing special, the room was clean. Very disappointed in the condition of the motel. Dates, had a horrible odour throughout the rooms and bathroom. Tiny amount of toilet paper and generally poor.

The motel seems "tired" and in need of a do oover. The furniture and applicances are very dated and do not all work. Just an overall worn look to everything. The size of the TV seems very small compared to the rooms and that didn't work anyway. The people did their very best and it was appreciated being given a different room. Thank you. The hot water this morning was cold and I left very early. The booking was for a studio unit which looked lovely ij the picture but treality was not like that. I was given another type as the studio unit wasn't available. I couldn't recommend this place until it get's an ugrade. Glad it was for just one night.

The property is very conveniently located to the city. The room was also quiet & I didn't hear the neighbours, either to the side or above. Check in was a nightmare as I arrived at 630pm. The office was locked with no-one inside. In addition the phone number that was posted on the door went unanswered despite calling & leaving messageS, plural. I eventually got in around 40mins after arriving once I got the attention of an off duty maid. This needs to be fixed. The room was clean, tidy & quiet. My only criticism were that the bathroom clearly had no insulation & was freezing. There were also tacks sticking up from where the bathroom & main room met. Apart from that it was fine.

Rooms were spacious and had a proper air conditioner only a few blocks from city. It appears some rooms are rented out long term which have attracted noisy renters, I stayed 2 nights and the last residents were noisy till early morning, so my other booking in a week later was cancelled by me.

Not what we expected
Disappointed with rooms. We moved rooms after the first night due to noise and the second room was slightly better. Quite run down though - carpet worn through in places, only two stove elements worked, oven tray so dirty we gave up trying to clean it. Bathroom however was very clean and beds were quite comfy with clean crispy sheets. Guest Laundry was revolting; washing machine had some sort of scudge in it that could be wiped off with your fingers, there was another machine that was full of clothes, washing powder, pipes and appeared to be disconnected?! This was right in front of the dryer that presumably worked but you'd have to move the washing machine to get to it. We used a laundromat. They were very accommodating however when we asked to change rooms due to road noise and allowed us to leave our luggage in the room until we left for the airport at 2pm on the day of checkout as it was not booked. So 50/50 really for a short stay.
