Liked: Cleanliness
It was hard to find and while the bed was comfortable it is an older motel. The curtains aren't able to keep all the lighting out of the room when the night lights are on and I need a cool dark room to sleep, so had a disturbed night. Even clean and although it had cutlery, it had no plates or bowls and 2 tiny capsules of milk for an overnight budget stay.

The windows need a good cleaning and the shower basin was in need of a good scrub. The basin in bathroom is blocked. A very noisy apartment as it appeared that everytime someone flushed a toilet in the building, we had the rushing water noise in our wall. And that was all night. There was also no shortage of dust and fluff. The manager was good, but his cleaners need a good rocket. The main upstairs entrance door was like operating a combination lock and I observed quite a few people stuck outside trying to manipulate the lock.

The heater/fan in the bathroom was leaking water on bathroom floor when it was raining. The shower looked like it had not been cleaned from previous guests. Bed was clean and comfortable. There must have also been a problem with heat pump/cooler.. After using and turning off it continually clicked. The only way I could stop this was to remove key to cut off power supply in room. Might need to be checked. Found it hard to sleep with the noise.

The motel room was very small as well as the shower recess. The window could not be closed properly. We found one cracked plate in the cupboard with tasteless coffee. The window view faced a dumped car in an overgrown field. There was no bus stop, so we had to take an Uber to the city centre.
