"Booked this motel for the fact that it had a gym - but the gym was closed. Overall the place was relatively tidy. Bathroom and kitchen were pretty clean. Outdoor chairs needed a wipe over, dust on furniture/lamps. The room had a pretty bad smell to it, it smelt pretty musty. But was happy with the size of the 2 bedroom unit. Furniture definitely needs an upgrade since it’s outdated/worn and was covered with sofa covers"
