Great value, did the job.

Quiet, warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Quirky vibe. Bathroom needed a do-up: toilet lid wouldn't stay up as the cistern was in the way. Shower had good pressure but needed a better clean. Nice clean linen. Great having a wee kitchen of our own. Good parking.

The staff were great but the place is worn out, the photos on Expedia are not current. It needs a renovation and unfortunately the unit wasn't clean, kitchen was dirty and food on pots and plates. Some of the kitchen appliances were grubby.

Despite the wall heater not working the unit was warm and quiet and although dated exceeded our expectations. Criticisms, the shower tray was not level and did not drain completely, bathroom floor slippery when wet, bed was ok but a duvet would be nicer than blankets and a foam topper pad more comfortable. Fix the heater.

The room was great. It was cold on arrival and did not heat up very well during the night. We used the small extra fan heater which worked but only in it's immediate vicinity. If it was warmer, i would have rated comfort a 5.

Good service upon check in, very spacious unit. Unit smelled mouldy, there were rips in the carpet, dripping taps, evidence of water egress into the unit. Shower had very low pressure, only ventilation in bathroom was a window that when opened gave access physically and visually to any other guests walking past. Definitely NOT a 4 star motel.
