Tv didn’t work, bit scary to use the bathrooms that are not in the room at night, for an extra $20 would probably get somewhere a lot nicer

Comfy beds and quiet at night. Getting in was a nightmare which took 3 calls to finally get all the 5 codes we needed for the doors. It felt like Fort Knox. Appeared to be newly renovated and was clean but peeling paint, holes in the woodwork, dents in the walls and old almost unusable vanity cupboard in bathroom. Whole premises seem to have had a hard life

It states free parking however there is none, you park on the street. I had to call up twice to get my entry codes. No WiFi login despite it it being advertised. Fairly clean and reasonably priced but they can do better.

The floors and cupboard were not clean in our room. We only had one coffee cup instead of two. The bathroom was very clean. We were happy overall but some of the guests children were very noisy at nite running around the hallway.

The room stunk of smoke. There was cobwebs on the ceiling with spiders and what I thought was their offspring. I could not turn the tv off. My skin started to itch like something was biting me. I left the accommodation and found another motel to stay in. I rang the contact number and told them of my disgust and that I had left the premises and to consider refunding part of my payment. He said he would ask, I haven't heard a thing. DON'T STAY THERE.
