Very cheap motel. Ok if you can cope with poor bed and shabby room. Rooms definitely need a makeover.
Customer service was zero. Had to wait ages for someone to come and give us a key. Nobody on reception.

The parking and location were the only good things about this accommodation. Arrival at 4:30 with no one to check us in, then being handed keys through a gap in the door and pointed where the room is. Room smelt stale/musty. Pillow cases had stains on them (granted they looked like the person that changed the bed had a cut on their finger, not un changed). There was dirty cups and folks in the cupboards and draws - dirty like someone drank coffee then just put them back in the cupboard without washing. Lots of cobwebs and dust, stains on the walls in the bathroom like someone had been coughing on the toilet and the wall wasn’t clean. Rooms really felt like the sheets were changed and the bare minimum cleaning had been done such as just a vacuum. Won’t stay again and wouldn’t recommend.

Parking was ok. Bed was ok. Location was good. The facilities were very poor, not particularly clean and the reception stunk of cigarettes. The amenities consisted of a small plastic bowl, 2 spoons, one teaspoon and two knives and forks. No cooking utensils or sharp knife. No laundry facilities and despite putting our please clean our room sign out, we had nothing done and dirty towels still in the bathroom. Air conditioning didn't work.

The price for that area was fantastic, you won't find better value. It's not new and if you expect luxury go pay 4 times the amount somewhere else for similar facilities. This place kicks goals for position, meeting needs and value for money. Will stay again.

A let down for Lorne. No one present at reception, required to call to get the key, not welcoming at all, zero hospitality skills and then proceeded to point in a direction indicating your room…to walking into the room, definitely a jaw drop. Almost felt like walking out. Bed linen was clean with old blankets, noticed bed had no mattress protector, blinds had freyed edges everything is old. Coffee n biscuits out of date. Bathroom tile grout not cleaned properly…showing signs of some mould spots. shower screen frame rusty, tiles missing on vanity kicker. Don’t even know when carpet steam cleaned. Certainly a stale smell upon walking in n had to used AC to freshen room. Location was good tho. Outside looks abandoned. Pics certainly to not resemble current inside n out. I know price is cheap and served it purpose but doesn’t reflect what you’re actually paying for.
Would not be recommending this accomodation shouldn’t even be a listing.

When we arrived the frontage had weeds growing and there was a sign that said that the office was closed today, but it was so weathered, I think it had been there every day for a year. After calling the number, a man came to the door 5 minutes later, and opened the door just enough to stretch his arm through and give us the key with out a word to say. The floor was only clean where you could see from a distance and down the side of the bed it was dirty and had cobwebs full of bugs. The soap dispenser in the bathroom had leaked out all over the vanity. The room listing brags a Spa Bath, but there was a note to say it didn't work. The freezer was so frosted over that the shelf was bulging down making it unusable. There was a hole in the sink draining board that had a plug that didn't cover the hole. The shelf in the kitchen cupboard was sagging down on an angle. The only draw in the room had the bottom all smashed in. The air conditioner had an isolating switch with a paper note that was stuck to the tiles with packaging tape, and we didn't use it as it was full of dust. There was a fan heater next to the bed, but it didn't work. After going out to dinner, we came back to share a bottle of wine around 8 pm but there was only one glass and when I called the number to see if they could give me another one, they told me it was too late. They tried to make it look presentable, but the standard of maintenance falls well short. Glad we only stayed 1 night. I would love to post photos
