Good for a one night stay in a no fuss accommodation. The motel is not the most modern but has a comfortable bed, with a nice shower with a mini fridge in a spacious room. It can smell like cigarette smoke but it is older so to be expected. I will stay here again. The staff are friendly & accommodating.

After inspecting our Room, it was dirty & smelly, and the area felt unsafe, due to permanent residents uncontrolled filth. When asking for a refund, - it was immediately denied with shrugged shoulders and a no- care attitude. No minimum standards ar all, with smells to promote vomiting. -- The entire Motel should be demolished and fumigated.

A very basic lodging. The only thing we liked was the clean linen, clean bathroom but cracked sink. Reception staff extremely indifferent and unhelpful. Building very dilapidated - bathroom window loose, front door badly fitted on doorstep, room for vermin, insects. Basic requirements missing - eg. for 2 people, there was 1 knife and 1 spoon, 3 coffee mugs -1 broken, no glasses, a scattering of old tea, coffee,sugar, envelopes in a dirty draw. Our conclusion is that these people have NO IDEA how to run a hotel/motel.

This property was poorly maintained, dogs barked all night long from a nearby room, it wasn’t until we tried to leave the next morning at 8:30 that we realised we couldn’t check out until 9 as the office wasn’t open and there was no drop box. Waited until 9:15 and still the office wasn’t open! Had to leave the key and then call later to tell them where we left it as we had an appointment to get to. Would not recommend.

There was a problem between LastMinute and the Motel with the booking. I booked a Family Room with double and three singles, Lamplighter had me booked as a double only. Don't know who caused that problem. The staff member did resolve the problem by giving us two rooms at no extra charge for which I'm grateful. Unfortunately the motel is past it's useby date, rough and run down. Sheets were clean, room wasn't cleaned properly. Owners need to invest and manage properly or sell!
