Old and in need of a complete renovation. Furniture was old and worn out (covered by old bedding sheets) electric socket hanging out of the wall (held in with sellotape), no hot water in the kitchen, microwave was digusting - paint peeling off and covered in rust, no door on the toilet, bedroom door didn't fit so wouldn't close. Heating was not would be expected in motels. DEFINITELY NOT UPTO STANDARD OF MOTELS OF SIMILAR COST MOTELS.

I liked that the property was so close to town. I did not like the outside light which you cannot turn of shining in throgh the door all night. I did not like that there were no extra blankets or pillows. Yes I did ask for an extra blanket which took over 20 minutes to arrive.

The playground in the back was great for kids. Nice and close to city centre but quiet.

It was great to have the room ready and a text in advance for instructions as accommodation was required on a public holiday... I was not impressed with the puddle on the kitchen floor and the damp carpet after a previous occupier had turned off the fridge, causing the freezer part to defrost and the fridge to leak... Also, the curtains were thin/not covering the windows well to stop the outside security light from pouring in overnight... With the setup of the room, it made for a restless night's sleep...
