Lovely hosts and super clean! Yes, it's an older motel, but it was so clean and serviced daily. Really easy to find and access from a busy road, had convenient parking outside the room, and it was surprisingly quiet considering its location! Felt really safe as a woman staying on my own and the private thermal pool was a lovely treat too. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

This property is very tired and needs to be redecorated. The thermal pool was only just warm and is very much need of a paint. I had to ask for a hair dryer as there was not one in the unit. The bench top was very worn and broken at the edges
