Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We arrived at 315, no staff on site and room wasn’t ready. Came back 2 hours later to check in and got into the room. It was horrible, looked like bad emergency accommodation. Too many things wrong to even explain. The spray painted walls with overspray on the door just one thing. It was so bad that we booked another motel and left as soon as we could. Do not waste your money here, you will live to regret it!

Was dubious after reading other reviews. For the price of the room we were pleasantly surprised and would stay there again. I would give it a three star rating out of five. Obviously the rooms could be improved but we were quite comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We didn't like the bed that folded us like bananas. We didn't like the shower door handle that had a three inch screw coming out the back. This threatened to disembowel us. We didn't like the paper thin towels. The propert has good potential that is being ruined by sloppy workmanship. Forget putting in a pool and pay attention to detail.
