The property was old and tired for the price. Entry to the unit was via the bathroom. The tv was positioned very high up the wall which made it uncomfortable to view. Also we had to drive a couple of kms away to use a laundromat as there weren't any facilities on the premises.

The bed was great. The entrance was bizarre; never before have we opened the door to a motel and found ourselves in the bathroom! The parking was not convenient.
