"The worst motel I’ve stayed in for ages. Untidy property; unhelpful manager; staff behaving badly (called police when my autistic son was unwell instead of just checking in on us); mould on shower curtain; radiator heating not working. And the ONLY place to take a $100 bond from me on my entire 8 night trip. Super slow process to get my cash back Highly NOT recommended Stay away! It’s cheap for a reason. Yuk."
