Shocking access to the property. The rooms were dark (no lighting) and worn. The bathroom in particular was in desperate need of an upgrade. Paint was peeling off the interior of the spa. Could hear the neighbours talking next door. Not up to basic market conditions.

It was comfortable also, and we slept beautifully on the bed, We felt it was a bit short on cups/mugs we had 4
drinks each while there and had to wash a rewash mugs
to do that. We did not have a meal ... so that not tested.
Thermal pool was enjoyed.

Nobody seems to know that this motel has a natural hot spring piped into a private pool in each unit. They are divine.

It was clean, price was lower end of scale, reflecting the age of the motel. There was nothing to complain about, staff really friendly.

The housecleaner was amazing talked to me and seemed interested in me. If the property had an update I would give 5 stars. A tv upstairs and a couch rather than a bed in the living room would make it more comfortable
