Not so good. Very tired. Comfy bed but rest not so good. Air conditioning very noisy.
No sink. Had to fill electric kettle using a mug in bathroom. Needs a good upgrade

Please improve your cleaning!
The location is convenient but the room was not cleaned properly such carpet, fridge, bed, bathroom, table and chairs even the toilet wasn’t flushed properly when I received the room. I hope they can do deep clean once and keep it in good condition from there . If they can improve their cleanliness, they will have more clients. I won’t be back with this cleaning. I don’t mind old furnitures but at least they are clean properly. So disappointed!

Uncomfortable stay.
The cleanliness of this motel was appalling.
The dining chairs were disgustingly filthy.
A pillow case was stained.
The bed sheets were not flattened out or neat and tidy.
The beds were so soft, they are ready for replacement.
The shower alcove had a missing door handle.
The manager did do his best to amend, however, i wouldn't be recommending.

Location was convenient for our stay and maybe it's a case of if the price seems too good to be true it probably is.
It was nice that the air-conditioner was on so the room was already cool on a hot day.
One bed had stained sheets, the room had an off-putting smell, the crockery/ cups weren't clean so had to go get dishwashing liquid to use them, badly stained chair fabric, just didn't feel clean and overall sanitary.
