For a quick stopover, it is a fine spot. The AC in the room is fine, the bed is relatively comfortable, and the kitchenette is good to have, which has a kettle, a toaster, a microwave, some plates and bowls, utensils, and dish soap. It is easy to park as the spot is right outside the unit. However, there are quite a few noticeable issues. The reception is rarely staffed (maybe because it is between Christmas and New Year) so good luck if you have any questions or need any help. The bed rolls and you can't lock it in place. The bedsheet had a literal hole. The walls around the kitchennette had stains that either resembled either blood or tomato sauce. The shower doesn't have the best water pressure and isn't the warmest. The room also lacked outlets so we ended up charging our phone by the kitchennette.

Seriously? You charge a good hotel rate for this? How long ago you fixed the shower or cleaned the vent? Ancient aircon - even if you turn off yours, you still can't sleep because you hear neighbours'. Not even decent pillows and blankets. This is beyond disgusting

The staff on the phone were lovely and helpful, the room was clean and tidy but the beds made a huge amount of noise, the air conditioning didn’t work, and the curtains let all of the outside light in. Our family had an early morning flight and I think we got about 3 hours sleep. The shower was a saving grace!

The room was nice and large enough for 5 adults; the staff that I communicated with were all very polite and friendly. We felt there was a few things lacking in motel content that you would normally expect to see (i.e. extra pillow, hair dryer) and also one of the quilts was noticed to have cigarette burns in it.
