Very old, although clean and tidy, the floor carpet smelt stale, the bedding sheets were clean but with horrible stains and had discoloured dirty old blankets and covers . Also the room stunk of cigarette smoke which affected my eyes and throat terribley.

Motel used for housing the homeless!!
Arrival seen every room occupied by severely effected drug uses with their doors open!

Room was nothing like the photos.
Insects on benches and even in the microwave. Everything seemed dirty. No bathmat or handtowel.
Very noisy during the night directly outside my room.
Only nice thing I can say was the staff was nice when I arrived

Wifi connection was poor. Room was clean and there was cutlery and plates along with a microwave which were positive. No foot towel in the bath room and no liquid soap in the shower. The price is cheap which is also a positive.

Nice location and friendly staff. Terrible room it smelt of wet dog and cigarettes. The room looked nothing like the photos used to sell the place. In fact it looked like it had never been updated since the 60’s. Just a little paint here and there to cover up the atrocities that have no doubt been committed in the room.

The staff member at reception was great, very helpful. The gardens and pool area were clean, neat and well maintained.
The room itself was very dated, in need of maintenance and an overall revamp and deep clean.
