The property needs to focus on maintenance issues: dirty and damaged outside lights, mouldy shower recess, damaged curtain fittings. Please turn off bright outside lights at night as they intrude through the gaps in the curtains. Internet connection hit and miss. HOWEVER, the room was lean and the bed was very comfortable, and the location excellent.

The room was an absolute dump, paint falling off the walls, kitchen cupboard doors missing and bedroom wardrobe doors fallen off. No soap in the bathroom. When i addressed the issue's with the manager asking for a refund on the second night, he became abusive swearing, and threatened me! My worst motel experience ever!
