Back to the seventies.
Very ordinary Hotel and room. Started with a delayed check in followed by cigarette butts at the entrance to our room. I doubt the room has been updated since the 70ies. Dim lighting, paper thin walls, we could hear everything going on next door. Appliances old and some rusty. Altogether a poor choice on our part.

Have stayed at a lot of places in my time and im not a fussy person what so ever but this is hands down the worst place i have ever stayed. Filthy. Piss stained sheets. Other peoples hair through the bed. Shower drain was so blocked that after 2 minutes over being in there youre ankle deep in water not to mention pink mould growing in there. Not worth the price not worth staying here at all.

This is a very odd motel that seems to work mostly with the coach trade. Bus loads of tourist arrived each night and were rushed out after eating a horrible, mostly cold breakfast (that includes the hot items) in the morning. I can’t recommend it. The sofa was located underneath the tv facing the beds! The beds faced the tv. There was a kettle and toaster, but no plates or cutlery. You get the idea.

We stayed 2 nights. The place was sufficient for our purposes. Unfortunately we were in the room up front and near road. The tour bus drivers apparently use this hotel too because they would fire up the busses at 7:30. Not a deal breaker but if we stayed again we would request room in back of property

It was modern and clean! We loved it! Some attention needs to be given to the kitchen tap. Drips and difficult to shut off. The rest of the room was great!

The chalet style rooms were very cute and the hotel staff were friendly when we checked in. I found the parking was a little tricky as the parking lot was on an angle and the road was narrow into the lobby.
