The property could do with some TLC. Black mould in the bathroom was an issue & needs urgent attention as this is a health risk. The smoke detector had been removed with only the base on the ceiling: it is a legal requirement to have an operational detector in motel rooms. The motel was quiet & staff obliging.

The motel was suitable for one night stopover - breakfast was included although dining room didn't open until 8.00am so if needing an early departure breakfast would not be possible (not necessarily a big deal and fortunate that I didn't need to leave till after 8.00am to get to next destination). Breakfast was a typical serve yourself but certainly sufficient. Dining room looking a little sad with ceiling lining looking like it needs replacing. The room generally clean however di notice what appeared to be German cockroaches mainly in bathroom (remise of me not to mention to staff in the morning).

The room we had was quite clean and so was the pool. However, the motel is very run down. There were cigarette butts on the grounds even in the pool area. We went to have our complimentary breakfast and the restaurant was closed. The room had the bins emptied on our second day, however when we returned in the afternoon the door was not even closed properly, leaving it open to whoever wanted to enter during the day. Overall, it was quite overpriced for what what you get.

The room was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the opportunity to sit outside in the sun during the morning.
We appreciated the sole person running the motel as she was unable to get staff to assist her.

Looked like a brothel was running out of this place so I didn’t even get to reception. Keep my money. I’m not coming back here.
