Inconvenient check-in process, had to look for a message the day before and then call with credit card information before we could get key code as reception is unmanned. Room smelled of cleaning chemicals. Not very close to restaurants.

A bit disappointed with the way of payment

First of all, the motel offered to pay on arrival but actually the fee had been deducted from my credit card when I booked!! There’s no one on site so anyway it’s impossible to pay on arrival. So you should be careful. And the parking space was very narrow. So if they are almost full, it would be a bit difficult to park a big car. The shower has only a shower curtain so after taking a shower, the bathroom will be very wet so it’s better not coming in with your socks.

Ordinary motel, be aware payment method

We didn’t know it’s e-check-in, which means no person at the reception. We have to pay by a credit card even I chose “pay on the site.” The room was okay but the parking space was narrow so I suggest no big car into the parking.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was fine, clean and comfortable enough with nice bathroom and shower although the toilet seat (room 2) needs securing properly.Sadly the bed had electric blankets under the 'not so' fitted sheets, which was odd given it is summer, which were most uncomfortable during the night as we could feel the wires and controls digging into us, such a shame. The area was quiet but we could hear people in the other rooms quite clearly, someone even snoring so no sound proofing in these rooms!! Pleasant location and safe parking.
