Liked: Cleanliness
It is nice & handy place to Town, Supermarket, Food outlets & Liquor store. It needs better drainage for the shower as the water overflowed onto the floor drenching the bath mat. Also there was no egg flip so had to buy one to cook the eggs we bought. Other than these, it was a pleasant stay

I had a great stay at City Court Motel. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the city, making it super easy to get around and explore local attractions, shops, and restaurants. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything I needed for a pleasant stay.

Pretty rough

Stayed 2 nights they did not clean my room and had to be called back to make the bed. They took 4 times the accommodation. The TV was buggy and Glitchy. Probably won't stay again. The bathroom window was not private enough and had no curtain. The room was cold and the heater did not work. It looked like someone else had left their. ShamPoo and moisturizer in the shower and they left it for clients to use. When I needed a receipt when checking out, nobody was around to sort it
