Overall my stay was brilliant. If I must quibble, water in shower, toilet and sinks was a bit weak. Again, loved the room and overall accommodation, made my visit all that more restful/enjoyable.

This motel has seen better days and is sorely in need of maintenance. Many fittings are worn and the property generally looks tired. There is black mould in the bathroom. I was told had scored an upgrade but it just meant I had 2 flights of stairs to get to room and another to get to the bedroom.

I thought the stay was pleasant enough and the staff helpful. If I had to be completely honest there was overnight noise that detracted from a pleasant experience.
