Nikki

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The service is non existent. No daily room service as advertised. No laundry facilities, barely any parking. Pool is dirty and isn’t getting cleaned any time soon. Same mugs sitting out side a door for days along with cigarette buckets. Bins full in rooms on arrival with food in microwave and freezer. I ended up getting my own dish liquid to re wash the dishes as the lady told me she didn’t have any. Worst place I have stayed. No laundry facility as advertised and defiantly no daily room service.
Food in microwave on arrival along with full bin bellow. It just got worse from there. Asking for dishes the next day was hard work. We stayed 4 days and there was a few of us.

Great location,

Bed very hard and uncomfortable. Room was not cleaned or even refreshed after first night. There was another floor above where a room was rented and could hear them walking on the floor ..... not soundproof or any treatment.

The Motel was quite old which makes it difficult to look fresh. However it was clean and suited my needs for one night stay. Thank you.
