For the price and location was a decent stay. Comfortable beds, accommodating staff. The room was big enough for two people.

Good for a one night stay in a no fuss accommodation. The motel is not the most modern but has a comfortable bed, with a nice shower with a mini fridge in a spacious room. It can smell like cigarette smoke but it is older so to be expected. I will stay here again. The staff are friendly & accommodating.

Crack house
Was not impressed with this motel at all.
The TV didn't work. Housekeeping should be re trained. Very run down. Spoon in the middle of the bathroom floor. And the electronic room key didn't work.
App won't let me add photos !!

The room in this motel is a disgrace and not habitable. The door lock did not latch and there was no security chain. There was graffiti on the mirror, a torn blind, dirty shelves and a dirty bathroom floor. Front desk staff couldn't care less. AND they were charging $139 per night!! The Health Dept needs to pay a visit to this motel...I'm still waiting for my refund.

Absolutely terrible. I ended up leaving straight after checking in and finding alternate accommodation for the night.
Strong cigarette smell in the room made me feel sick.
I noticed multiple other rooms had broken windows which made me feel extremely unsafe as a single female occupant.
A lot of rubbish/ hard rubbish lying around everywhere.
Terrible.
Although my booking was non- refundable- I am very disappointed and think I should get at least partial refund due to choosing not to stay there.

After inspecting our Room, it was dirty & smelly, and the area felt unsafe, due to permanent residents uncontrolled filth.
When asking for a refund, - it was immediately denied with shrugged shoulders and a no- care attitude.
No minimum standards ar all, with smells to promote vomiting. -- The entire Motel should be demolished and fumigated.
