Comfortable n satisfactory, room was close to the laundry. Enjoy my stay.
3-night trip

10/10

Perfect for our quick stay. Beds were 5 star, so comfortable and perfect for our quick layover. Staff were very helpful with our late checkin. Rooms were dated but the price reflected this so this was not an issue at all!

Definitely will be staying there again. Enjoyed our stay and great price.
4-night trip

6/10

Location was ideal but the accommodation is very old. Fixtures missing inside the bathroom. Only enough PowerPoints for their electric items. The room had an old school box air conditioner that was noisey n then kicked into even noisier each time the compressor set in. But, the beds were really comfortable and the staff were very friendly. Do you get what you pay for? $140 a night? I’d probably not stay here again unless they did some upgrades.

4-night trip

4/10

Property badly needs a renovation. Leaky old taps, mold in the bathroom cupboard, tiles in the shower, stain mark on the flat sheets, sofa cover seems like it hasn't been washed in awhile, ceiling fan in the room not working. You can hear everyone passing by the room, paper thin walls. Microwave's coating is peeling, showing some rust. Mirror in the bathroom is rusty too, was very dirty I had to actually clean it to see myself in the mirror. Location is convenient, but there seems to be a lot of drunk people hanging around. A drunk man was harrassing us at the gate of the motel when we arrived, scary if you have kids with you. They have baggage storage, staff are nice. Pool seems dirty, didn't use it. Won't return here again.
