4/10 Fair

Very dated hotel. Smelled badly and the bathroom was dirty. There was hair in the bathroom probably from the previous occupants.
Eduard, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I’ll fitting bath door jams on floor, bedside light unplugged as electrical hazard, poor bedding, window coverings too narrow for window and too long covering over ac (blocking flow). Poor bathroom fixtures. Didn’t try included breakfast as felt would as bad as room.
Jergen, 1-night trip

We were there for only one night but the staff was super friendly and very hospitable! The hotel is old but rooms were well kept and clean. The adult kids had a great time playing pool with the locals!!
Joanna, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The shower was nasty. Moldy and nasty looking. The attached bar blasts music until 1am. Beds were clean and the mattress was ok. The place is cheap but not cheap enough to allow the shower to look like it did.

Philip, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We booked this place as it was the only place available for the night we needed to stay. We were a bit nervous as there was a lot of negative reviews, despite it being outdated it was spotless & had everything we needed. Staff, locals and the whole atmosphere was A . The lounge was great, we will most likely be back next time we’re in the area.

This is a dilapidated overpriced motel. Neighbourhood dogs barked all night. However, there are no other options under 200 a night
