No clear communication about how to access the room. Sent messages via the Expedia app and didn't get a reply so had to call. They answered and provided direction which was good, I was just nervous about being able to get in because we were doing a long drive and would be arriving pretty late. The room offered a stove top for cooking (which is why we booked it, we wanted self contained) but there was nothing to cook with (pots and pans) so we were unable to use it and had to buy food out, not ideal - this shouldn't be advertised as a feature of the room if it cannot be used. The door needs to be shut firmly at night and dead bolted - ours blew open in the middle of the night due to the wind outside. Otherwise, good location near a main street, a little further out from where we wanted to be but was cheap.

I would not stay there. No reception our keys were in room with door unlocked. A creepy guy followed us to our room and was talking outside our door. The rooms smelled. Very horrible experience. If I could give 0 stars I would. Should not be listed on wotif,

This motel is nothing like what’s on the website. Somebody’s been cooking drugs in the rooms. People coming and going non-stop. The rooms are nothing like what’s in the photos. Bed smell like people have pissed on them. Manager is rude. Can only be contacted by phone. Doesn’t have the guts to face people Just takes their money and laughs. I have reported to the police and local council unfit to stay in

Close but no cigar… just cigarettes

The room itself aesthetically nice but the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke was too much. From one night my clothes smelled of smoke when I left. The bed was comfortable, easy check in and accommodating for those arriving after hours.

Wont stay again

i stayed on my own and i personally wouldnt do it again. There is a guy who lives on the premises decided to have a few drinks and decided to pump his music pumping... each to there own. But not at 1-2 in morning. Check in was long. No one in reception took roughly 3-6 rings and a voicemail for a call back. Location is good.
