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.

You get what you pay for and this motel is great just for a quick stop over between flights. It is comfortable with a tiny bathroom. The bed was comfortable and towels were fluffy. The not so nice: The air-conditioner was covered in dust. I found a used toothpaste tube in the shower so i did wonder if it had been cleaned properly. We couldn't open the window as it was near a highway and too noisy. While tgere is only breakfast offered for meals we found a great club just up the road (about 2 minutes walk) and had a great meal for dinner.
