Very poor. We booked and paid for 4 people and were provided with a room for 3. A staff member gave us a sheet and we had to make up a sofa ourselves. Wifi didn’t work in the room. A cold room. Really bad.

We stayed three nights. The room wasn't serviced at all. no clean towels no face cloths rubbish bins not emptied no plug in the bathroom basin the shower leaked onto the floor. Over all not a good experience. On the Saturday night other guests were partying out side until 2am and management did not put a stop to it.

Disappointing Stay – Poor Maintenance and Lack of Basic Amenities The property was very run-down and not as advertised. Several key amenities were out of order, including the pool, spa, and washing machine. We booked the place for six people, but there were only five beds available, and no towels were provided. The overall cleanliness was lacking—the oven was dirty, plates were chipped, and the floors were sticky. The beds were old and uncomfortable, and my room had an unpleasant musty smell, like an old man’s lingering odor. The only positive aspect was the location, which was great. However, given the poor condition of the property, I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless major improvements are made

they ask for a $100.00 bond when you arrive and then they will deposit it back into your visa account, in this case they took another$100.00 out, by the time you check your statementits a couple of hours later you are well on your way, they dont answer they phone. Would NOT RECOMMEND this motel at all

Would not recommend

This motor lodge is in very poor condition. The floors were sticky and we discovered a lot of rubbish including a dead cockroach underneath the couch. The tv did not work, apparently there is no aerial.
