Was everything normal! It is good standards for living……..!
The service was good!!
The room smelled strongly of cigarettes, the toilet seat was loose (almost detached), the floor loose and sticky/dirty and the TV had no signal (couldn't watch free to air, was only able to log in to Netflix using my personal account). Otherwise it had adequate amenities and good temperature control
Very clean room also the bed was so comfy, all toiletries were supplied were to the high standard, I can only comment of 1 problem at the motel and that is, the car park and outside of the rooms is very dirty that needs to be cleaned daily as there were ear bud sticks(used) also teeth cleaners and just basic everyday rubbish like cigarette butts, the workers need to more aware of their surroundings for cleanliness so when clients are not bringing dirt into the rooms.

Yes for two elderly travellers we found the motel clean and no problems
Not very helpful staff another business taken over by Indians and have had every corner cut to save cost the mattress’s about 30 years old covered in stains. Most uncomfortable beds you’ve ever seen in your life places was under construction yet they demanded more than full price. It’s on a horrible main road really noisy traffic junkies walking in and out of the property the room smell like cigarettes, beds and towels covered in stains and they demand you. Wash the dishes or try to charge you extra money- not worth it.
We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom newly renovated unit/apartment and it was great! We had everything we needed. In spite of the proximity to the main street it wasn’t noisy - we were there on a Sunday night. The people in reception.
