Pretty basic, free toiletries were just 2 small soap bars only, the 2 towels for showers were the size of larger teatowels, walls had holes covered with tape and painted over and the free wifi kept disconnecting to the extent l had to hotspot from my phone so l could watch programs from my laptop.

Give it a miss!!!!

The unit (2) was filthy and in desperate need of a refurbishment. The worst thing was the filthy bathroom. I think they missed it when cleaning the unit as the shower and toilet were both dirty. The toilet still had faeces under the seat. Shower had black mould, soap scum and spider webs. No hot water or water pressure so were unable to shower. The sheets had stains, obviously not commercially cleaned. Curtains were dirty. Had been repainted at some stage but was just slapped on over imperfections, switches etc. A power cord came from outside into the room from a hole in the wall and was plugged into a standard power socket. We found out this was the wifi. Definitely not worth the money paid. Will not stay here again.
Stating the obvious, filthy toilet.

I appreciate that there are old photos in the advertisement for the motel and that it is in need of tlc. I found the owners to be friendly and helpful. IReception is clean and tidy, my unit with a little more cleaning would be great the bed was comfortable and apart from the noise of the traffic my stay was okay but it was ruined by a rowdy, rude male next door to ruin it.

It was damp, slugs on the floors and condensation max! It was dripping onto the floor during the night. The toilet had issues in the middle of the night we couldn’t fix so was awake from the noise from 3am onwards. Very sad but the staff were friendly.

We booked 2 rooms, no hot water. Bed uncomfortable, could feel the coils. Noisy street. Sink had no plug, no cloth to wash dishes and no tea towel. Looked like they had revamped the toilet seat with a paint.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The worst property I have stayed in 40 years of travel. Room not serviced, no smoke alarms. Holes in multiple walls covered in tape and painted over. Hot water flow next to useless. The whole room had been painted with little regard for masking over light switches, taps, benches. No breakfast offered and general amenity was from the 50’s without updating. Reception was abrupt. Avoid at all costs. I moved to another property during the paid-for period

This was a booking for 4 people....The manager was nice when we got there, explaned that they are doing up a unit so would be a bit of a mess outside( cool). We entered to find a very small tv and sky box on a roughly panited tv stand a table for only 2 people, only 2 plates, knives, forks etc didnt explain how to turn on the hot water for the shower which had extremely low pressure. No way to cook a meal on the stove no microwave in the unit. It was roughly painted inside, and over holes snd switches. Paint on curtians and the windows hard to shut, and the wardrobe door handle came off in your handno curtain to cover the glass front door facing the main rd, not enough seating for people to relax, broken lights, no dish cloth or plug for the sink. The toilet seat was roughly painted and looked awful just the start of my list but i think you get the picture by now. To finish off this stay we had some friends visit in the form of cockroaches. Wont stay here again......
