8/10 Very good

For the price and location was a decent stay. Comfortable beds, accommodating staff. The room was big enough for two people.
Jackie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This motel is nothing like the pictures, it is dirty and filthy and not looked after at all … There were food pieces on the walls in the bathroom like someone had vomit in there and missed the toilet all together, the floors all were dirty and stained. Curtains were ripped. This motel has loads of people living there permanently. We had no choice but to stay there for the night as we got there late…. We slept on top Of the blankets in our clothes.

Mike, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

2/10 Poor

Do yourself a favour and never stay there and take it off your website it’s not what your advertising l have never been so scared in my life at a motel we ran out of there forfeit our money

2/10 Poor

Smelly and noisy during the night, few homeless people shouted and the door can’t close properly, it’s unsafe.

2/10 Poor

Is this used to house the rejected members of society? Not a wink of sleep with the fighting/noise.

phillip, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is one of the worst motels I’ve ever stayed in. Filthy, stunk and they stuffed up our reservation. Next time I think I’ll stay in a bus shelter if I’m struggling to find something. I cannot recommend anything less than I recommend this shi$hole.

2/10 Poor

Do not stay here. Dirty, unsafe, no staff around. Worst experience ever. We did not end up staying.
Kylie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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 !!
