I had a great stay at City Court Motel. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the city, making it super easy to get around and explore local attractions, shops, and restaurants. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with everything I needed for a pleasant stay.

A few niggly things to deal with. Heater didn’t work. Toilet seat moved around and too small for toilet. Kitchen plug useless. Asked housekeeping, as I couldn’t do dishes, not particularly helpful BUT very friendly.

Pretty rough

Stayed 2 nights they did not clean my room and had to be called back to make the bed. They took 4 times the accommodation. The TV was buggy and Glitchy. Probably won't stay again. The bathroom window was not private enough and had no curtain. The room was cold and the heater did not work. It looked like someone else had left their. ShamPoo and moisturizer in the shower and they left it for clients to use. When I needed a receipt when checking out, nobody was around to sort it

The room was only partially cleaned for my late arrival. Some of the furniture was dusty and the inside of the bathroom drawers had hair and dust in them. All of the containers for shampoo, soaps, etc needed refills. The coffee and tea were so old, the packaging was breaking open. The fabric headboard smelled like old cigarette smoke. The person on the front desk was as helpful as he could be, considering it was over New Years that I was there. The outside grass has just gone to weeds. Outside waste bins were overflowing. If it weren’t for vehicles parked there, the property would look like it had been abandoned.
