Honestly I loved this motel! When I first pulled up the exterior look quite dated and I was quite shocked after the photos I saw for it. However it all changed once I got into my room where I was pleasantly surprised. Very beautiful decor with a nice, comfortable king sized bed. The one thing I didn't quite understand about the room is all the decor was made to look beautiful but definitely not last, it was all very cheaply built and definitely bought on Amazon or something like that. However it was overall beautiful. I would stay here again.

It’s an older building renovated to feel comfortable. Nice bathrooms and on par for facilities vs price. We did however find a few deal breaking quirks… the heatpump outdoor unit was so loud we had to compromise between using this or sleep, I’m not talking a wee hum, this was like a bus idling outside your bedroom. Luckily there were electric blankets, however in order for the plug to reach a socket, meant shifting the bed, this would be no issue had we not found 6 large toenails and a slipper under the bed!

Stay didn’t meet our expectations

The photos used for the property online paint a very different image to what it is like in reality. The concierge area was totally empty except for the reception desk (it looks like a bar is advertised online). Half of the rooms were also under construction which was a bit of an eye sore and quite noisy from fairly early in the morning. The room was clean and comfortable, but overall we felt that this stay didn’t meet our expectations

Quiet room for passing through

We appreciated the location, no noticeable traffic noise. We learned the room was newly renovated but the first thing I noticed was lots of UHT milk pockets - nice. But when I went to put our chilli -bin contents in there it was not cold at all even though it was would up to full coldness. The staff were baffled as it was anew fridge - they did agree to hold our items in their own fridge. The fridge being right on the ground would not accessible to all people. I ened up turning it off as it glowed very brightly at night, as did the TV remote light - so I turned it off at the wall. Otherwise, a good place to stay. We were just passing through, didnt use any other facilities.
