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.

Nothing at all like the pictures. Extremely run down bordering on unsafe. The room was filthy. We were surrounded by drug addicts who kept us up all night and to make things worse the door didnt lock properly. Would NOT have stayed here if there was any other accommodation available at the time.

Unfortunately, the pictures of the property displayed online are not indicative of the true state of the property. It is very run-down and the area surrounding the motel is poorly maintained. Whilst the rooms are dated, they were clean. Our bed was very low to the floor and as 70 this was difficult accessing. The shower is also over the bath. Our biggest grief with our stay was a problem with no water being availble for 3hrs during our overnight stay. Whilst the water was fixed by 10.30pm, there was no hot water until 11.30pm. Overall, the property is old and in need of many repairs, so don't rely on the pictures advertised, I would encourage people to read the reviews, which I did not. Very disappointing

Its close to the water, in a nice convenient spot. Later checkout to most places. However, upon entering heading to our room there was a hole in the roof (looked like bad water damage) in the pool they have a nice shallow end for children, but the pool was dirty, we pulled a half fish body out of the shallow section. Overall just had a real weird vibe.

The room was not clean properly. It smelt of someone smoked in there and I think next to me had a cat that kept me up all night.

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.

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.
