The room was clean with all the basic amenities which provided a pleasant stay.
Noted that the wash basin had separate hot and cold water taps. It would be nice to have a mixer tap!
The host and staff were helpful and friendly.

The room is spotless clean. The staff was very helpful, we are in second floor and she offer to help move our luggage up.
The only downside is the tv does not work. Anyway we just use our laptop to watch.

It was suitable for us as we were just staying before we got up early for a flight at the airport. The lady who welcomed us was lovely, very friendly and welcoming. The room was dated, sofa bed my son slept on was very thin. The bathroom floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, but the shower worked well. We did have two little cube windows that had no blind so we had to cover them up ourselves. The TV was also very glitchy. It is positioned in a good area to go grab dinner though, easily walkable.

We were very happy with our unit. Also we could have our pet with us. That 's a big plus. Receptionist was great .
Communication was excellent.
The room was clean but the property was very tired. Very poor water pressure in the shower. Bathroom definitely in need of an upgrade along with the kitchen area.

Didn't actually stay at the Bush Inn Court, we got a message from this property just before check-in to say that the room we were booked in had a plumbing issue and was not available, so we were transferred to a 'sister' property nearby with no extra charges. This review is for the sister property which was the Westside Motor Lodge.
