My room was quite big, spacious and fairly comfortable - good bed and pillows - and in a good location . However it was quite dated with peeling wallpaper. Either needs new wallpaper or peel it all off and paint it. Just really needs some updating and repair

As others have said, the decor is tired and some fixtures are stained or chipped. BUT it is also a huge, well-equipped room with lots of storage which is cheap, quiet and in a good location. It is an over-bath shower, but the pressure is great. I would definitely stay again.

The room had a damp/old carpet smell, which didn't go when you opened the door. The silicon in the bathroom was mouldy and missing around parts of the sink. There was a very dodgy electrical set up in the bathroom. The plate which should be attached to the wall was sitting on top of the heater. I hope no one turns it on! You had to move the bedhead to access any plugs on that side of the room. There was a fan, but the legs had been shortened to fit in a cupboard, so it wasn't stable. The staff were friendly. I wouldn't recommend this motel.

We felt the property was very roomy big enough for family. However the bathroom and kitchen needs updating with a shower instead of bath. The owners/managers were very obliging supplied requests promptly

I have stayed here several times and it offers good value. The staff are helpful and courteous. The room was a little 'tired' with 1970s- style furnishings but that did not bother me. It was clean and comfortable. I appreciated the early checkin, but soap near the bathroom basin instead of only in the shower would have been helpful.
