Alarm set off at 00:09 and not only woke me but I coukd not get back to sleep. Those servicing the room need to ensure that any alarm is off.

Unfortunately very tired and badly in need of maintenence. Clean but not inviting.
6-night trip

10/10

I was checking in late. The front desk called to coordinate with me and was accomodating. The furnishings were older and worn, but everything was clean and the linens were fresh and soft. It was nicely decorated and pretty. Everything was well maintained and they even had an electric blanket. I only needed a place to sleep for a couple of hours. I'd almost booked a hostle but this price was nearly the same and private. I'm glad i did! I would stay again. The parkinglot is small and a bit hard to get out of, but the parking itself was good.

Dirty room/bathroom over priced and had a bad smell
1-night trip

6/10

Had to wait 5-10 mins to book in for no apparent reason. No milk given to us on arrival.
2-night trip

4/10

Sorry to be negative, we found the bed position difficult with a window and blind, at pillow height. The bed was very firm. ( uncomfortable) so we did not get a good sleep. The shower was a ‘wet floor shower’ so everything got very wet! We did not feel it was value for money.
1-night trip

2/10

This is an emergency accommodation motel it seems. Unit 2 has been over used. Need a complete renovation and new furniture which is dirty and stinks. U can hear the people above through the floors. Room in poor condition. No money spent to upgrade it for non-emergency housing use. Bedding towels are a nice token in otherwise a run down place. Should tell people that emergency accom is onsite.

4/10

Very small space in the living area, sofa bed in bad condition and of bad quality, couldn't even handle my parents weight of 130kg combined so they didn't have any sleep as the sofa bed sank all the way down. Both the sofa bed and arm chair are very dirty. Kitchen is tiny and basically no dining area, could barely walk with the dining table there. Bathroom window and shower aren't clean. Very noisy as it's right next to the big road. Overall is an unpleasant experience won't go back there again not even for cheaper price.

Just what we required for a few nights stay On a main road - never heard any road noise at night
