No working TV in the room as advertised. We moved room but still the TV was not working. Rooms were in need of maintenance. Reception was quite difficult to get hold of. Would not stay there again or recommend it to anyone.

A manager who was not there when you needed him. there was no hot water and was told the whole block did not have any why would you still be renting rooms in this situation two phone numbers were given one was an emergancy number both went to mail boxes . Reception was supposed to be open 7am till 10pm manager finally arrived after 12 noon as for the pool non excestant I didn'tsee one.The front door of the unit was rotten at the bottom and the vinyl was lifting the courtyard was ripped up and had to drive around a large hole. This was a total disaster I would not recommend to my worst enemy. Please take this establishment off your books. There is no minus stars to give. There should be. In my opinion it doses not meet minimum standards for any accommodation

While the rooms we booked were clean, and the accommodation was relatively inexpensive, it was not the greatest motel. We were not able to get rooms close to each other; the fridge in one room had such a bad ice build up that the door didn't close, and the laundry only had one functioning washing machine, which was very busy. On check-in, we asked a question about the area, and were told there were no brochures. We were also not advised that the dining room would not be open that evening. Overall, it was a place to sleep, but not a great experience. OK sums it up.
