Pool needs a repaint. Mattress due replacement as starting to collapse on one side. Incomplete refurbishing of the room, old water damage on cupboard still evident. Room however spotless and spacious. Staff helpful and friendly.
1-night trip

8/10

Staff was warm and welcoming. Johns gave us a bigger room than we reserved and even helped us carry our suitcases up to our room. Property looks like your typical family run motel so there's a bit of quirkiness to it. Spa tub was the hottest hotel/motel one we've ever been in which was wonderful! We didn't try the other 2 pools
