Fair - 2.5 out of 5

It's ok.

Liked: The room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly.
Disliked: Very tight front carpark although there was additional parking at the rear. I think the photos are a little misleading, the buildings and rooms certainly felt a lot older than I was expecting. Some very rowdy guests in opposing rooms on the first night. Just a little more run down than we were expecting but overall our stay was ok.

A very neat, convenient and...

Liked: The location is good, close to the city with restaurants not far from it. The room is good sized for 2 people, clean and maintained well. Parking is tight in the front area but was not an issue as the place was not full to capacity. Easy parking at the back of the property. The staff were very helpful.
Disliked: No exhaust in the toilet/bathroom but not much of an issue to be highlighted.

Exceptional

Liked: It was easy walking distance to shops.
Disliked: I slipped in the shower. Perhaps a mat to stop sliding would be good.This was the first place we stayed at lots of motels and we have always been given milk when we arrived.
