No spa pool on site for guests in studio or 1 bedroom iso Hotels.com should make this clear and take down photo of spa pool. I was disappointed by this as I booked because of photo of spa pool.

Clean, safe place to stay. Good that it is down a drive way as further from the street noise.

The studio unit we were in was clean, main area was bright but minimalistic, bathroom definitely needed refurbishing as was not very pleasant to be in. Although continental breakfast was advertised as being available when I asked on arrival was told ‘sorry we don’t do breakfast’ and this even though the blurb listed on the units wall stated ‘continental & cooked breakfast on request. Minimal coffee tea sachets etc were supplied not sure whether they were replaced daily. Price was fairly reasonable but wouldn’t stay there again

The room was clean and the bed comfy. However, the electrical switch by kitchen bench is broken as was the one by the bed. This is a safety issue. The bathroom had mould in places and a hole in the wall at floor level under window. Overall the unit needs some maintanance to bring it up to standard.

Disappointed in stay this time. Have stayed at this property several times and found property needs upgrading. I had couple problems with my unit. Light bulbs didn’t work. 2 elements out of 4 only worked on hotplates. Fridge broken and kept freezing my food. Management informed and helped where necessary. Otherwise property great location and units good size.

Loved everything about this well-priced motel. It was well appointed with everything you need, the layout was excellent, and the beds were comfortable. Easy parking outside of your motel unit meant that packing and unpacking was a breeze. It looked well set up for those who want to use the kitchen (we didn't).
Would recommend!
