Room was clean and tidy with all the usual appliances, cutlery plates bowls etc. Larger room allocated in the back section that was quiet and comfortable. Good value with Al-a-Cart breakfast included that was more than sufficient to start the day. Would stay there again.

Ok for price and location however property has roaches n carpet needs thorough clean or replaced. Bit sketchy characters around as well. Complementary breakfast 7 to 9am STRICTLY, you need to be careful of fine prints. Recommend to stay there if nothing else is available.

The 2 bedroom family room was very outdated and had cobwebs through doorways. There was a stale smell in the room.
The updated rooms in the first section of the Motel were much nicer.

I liked that it was quiet and breakfast was provided.
I didn't like the drive way which had lots of pot holes.
The family room we had was very old and rundown. The room didn't look like the pictures on the website.
There was no matress protector on the beds or pillow protectors. TV was not a smart TV. Windows didn't lock properly.
