Could have been better, a few areas that could have done with a clean and paint refresh. Tea bags were probably the cheapest they could buy, dam rubbish, bought our own. Intermittent internet signal, varied depending on where one was in room, needs to be slightly stronger, had good sleep, bed quite comfy.

We booked this knowing it was an old unit and did not expect anything fancy, however it was so dirty. The shower was mouldy with rotting wood, same as the hand basin. The couch smelled of vomit and the oven looked like it was going to fall over. Even has a weed growing in under the back door! The whole place needs a scrub! We couldn’t stay the second night we had booked, as it was so yuck. Do not recommend

Honestly, the advert made me feel that the hotel/motel is average (or slightly above average - especially the good looking cover picture of the swimming pool). However as soon as I landed there - I immediately knew I made a wrong choice. You are worried about the safety! Then in the night around 2 am someone knocked our door (and tried to open it) for 3-4 times. I was with a family so I did not open the door but I also realised that the neighbour's doors were also knocked. We were really scared the rest of the night! The property is very old. And all my family members got bed bugs. In short, we had a terrible experience! Probably a big no from my opinion!

Room was good, sheets were not clean or ironed. Bathroom was OK but shower floor felt unsafe. TV access was great, warm room and minimal noise from other rooms. Very reasonable rates.Would return again.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I didn’t do my due diligence here and booked without checking photos/reviews. Didn’t feel very safe ever during this stay. This should be a lot cheaper considering. The hall and stairs was quite old and dirty. Tbh my water pressure was fine and bed was comfy - linens etc felt clean. Green gunk coming out of one of the power points. But we needed an umbrella and there was one available to borrow which was cool! Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re on a very tight budget and with a man.

Old, poorly maintained. Wasn't convinced that the bed had been changed/made since the previous guest. If it wasn't for the fact that we wanted something cheap and convenient for one night only, then we wouldn't have stayed.

Chose this place because it was pet-friendly but it was inadequate in every way and nothing like how it was advertised. Bedding and towels were well worn and marked. Other residents seemed to be in emergency accommodation. Pool was unusable.
