Mixed Feedback
Air conditioner did not work, cooling function was definitely not working. Air con set on 17 felt like 25 deg. With a pregnant wife and a hot day, this was uncomfortable. After raising this with reception and maintenance - they assured me I was wrong and that the Air con was working fine. Ridiculous. Not handled well by management. Rooms are very old and ours wasn't cleaned sufficiently. Pool was clean and worth swimming in. Great location.

A good place if need a place quickly but the property desperately needs fixing. Half of the Bathroom mirror was cracked, some water marking in ceiling at front door and no door for the toilet/bathroom area which was near the front door. Owner who was at reception for book in was nice. A lot of dubious people staying there though, not good for a female staying alone.

Dirty and unkept. Dangerous stairs and loose railings. No spare pillows or blankets. No biscuits for coffee..The worst motel I have ever stayed in.

Very run down and old, very noisy and uncomfortable. I wouldn’t stay here again even tho it’s in prime location. Bed was old and uncomfortable, tv barely worked, bathroom was old and the bath/ shower looked dirty and had hair in it. When I called to check if we could check in early the last answered the phone with just hello so I was confused and thought I’d random the wrong number.

Room to improve and good staff and owner
I enjoyed staff and owner friendly service and good location, But it needs to complete renovation while some still half done. I will go again next time to see it completely renovated.

Couldn’t lock the glass sliding door. Black mould in the bath room which has made me very very sick with acute respiratory condition . The bed had completely collapsed . Destroyed my back . Teenage girls running and screaming in the corridors at 10:15 at night . Night manager not interested. I had to vacate the room at 22:30 on the second night of my prepaid stay due to intolerable conditions of the facility. So with that I insist on a full refund .!
