Pleasant stay with clean rooms. The cupboard where the fridge was enclosed could have had a better sliding door to be able acess the cups, toaster, kettle etc

Budget in cost and quality. Noisy area so not a great sleep and more cars allowed in the car park than there were car park spots meant i had to park away from the motel in pouring rain.

Near bus stops, this hotel has amazing tiolettries in the bathroom with the hairdryer too. It's a nice bed & with my pillow/chiropractic needs I slept so well!! It meets all my needs & very good on the budget possibly more affordable than others in the area

It was close to where I had visit! Conflicting information as to why the online booking said there was only a family room left and the staff said I could park anywhere because many of the rooms where empty! Asked for access to the internet and was given one night when I was booked for 2! Was told I should have informed them when I asked for WiFi access! Not impressed!

The unit wasn't cleaned properly. Scum around the basin drain. There was a stale cooked chip left on the chair. Pillows were very uncomfortable. But we still enjoyed our stay. Bed was comfortable and the it was cosy.

Could have not asked for better Staff all were friendly and helpful housekeeping people were excellent the only thing is that the lounges in the rooms need to be updated as they’re hard to get in and out because of them being a little bit worn out

Although the carpets etc were clean this was a very basic room that had furniture that was tattered and actually torn underneath with 1 dining chair bolted in the area that a butt would be sitting on!!!! Air con etc all worked.Lounge was very low down nearly on the ground…and the bed was noisy at the foot end even just to sit on it to watch TV.
