The motor lodge did not have a reception on site, no communication prior to check in regarding this. We had to go looking for the reception only to find a sign to go to a different motor lodge down the road and check in there. We went to check in a few streets away and then returned to the motor lodge. Upon returning we noticed some shifty characters around the area eyeing us off. The place was empty besides us, as we unpacked our backs they were looking at us. We went into the room to find the door did not lock properly, the bathroom was dirty with mould and had not been cleaned properly. We saw a cockroach on the sink near the fridge. Ultimately this place DID NOT FEEL SAFE. We decided to leave the place and sought alternate accommodation.

The motel was very run down and no actual reception on site , upon arrival we saw a sticker on old reception door for us to go to another motel down the road to receive keys ( no heads up about this during booking ) , everything was closed up and looked uninviting , very basic cleaning ( stove dirty ) , we had 4 guests in a family suite and were only provided a hand towel ( no towels to shower with ) - it’s fine if your travelling on a budget and want to keep things basic , nice sized rooms etc but could do with a bit of TLC
