The rooms smelled like they've been smoked in. Also we left behind our son's favourite teddy and when I rang the next day to ask if it had been found I was told it had been thrown away already. He was pretty upset.

Staff made me and wife upgrade to a larger room (and pay extra) because we had a baby with us and the sound proofing in the regular rooms was not sufficient; however we could still hear the rooms next to us as clear as day; so it was pretty much a bogus excuse to get more money out of us. The shower had almost no pressure and was pretty unsatisfying; almost down to a trickle, and the double bed was two single beds that were a little uneven. Otherwise it was okay for a motel.

Location was good. But property is run down and tacky. Beds were all smaller than listed. Floro lights that tick away after being turned off. Only a half role of toilet paper in room, tho guy at office was happy to give more when requested. Only way to clean up any sort of mess on floor was with a broken brush. Won't be staying here again!
