This is an older motel in need of some upgrade. For a 1 night stay I found this to be quite adequate. Staff was friendly and room was acceptable.

Nothing at all like the pictures. Extremely run down bordering on unsafe. The room was filthy. We were surrounded by drug addicts who kept us up all night and to make things worse the door didnt lock properly. Would NOT have stayed here if there was any other accommodation available at the time.

A good place if need a place quickly but the property desperately needs fixing. Half of the Bathroom mirror was cracked, some water marking in ceiling at front door and no door for the toilet/bathroom area which was near the front door. Owner who was at reception for book in was nice. A lot of dubious people staying there though, not good for a female staying alone.

Very run down and old, very noisy and uncomfortable. I wouldn’t stay here again even tho it’s in prime location. Bed was old and uncomfortable, tv barely worked, bathroom was old and the bath/ shower looked dirty and had hair in it. When I called to check if we could check in early the last answered the phone with just hello so I was confused and thought I’d random the wrong number.

Couldn’t lock the glass sliding door. Black mould in the bath room which has made me very very sick with acute respiratory condition . The bed had completely collapsed . Destroyed my back . Teenage girls running and screaming in the corridors at 10:15 at night . Night manager not interested. I had to vacate the room at 22:30 on the second night of my prepaid stay due to intolerable conditions of the facility. So with that I insist on a full refund .!
