Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very small space in the living area, sofa bed in bad condition and of bad quality, couldn't even handle my parents weight of 130kg combined so they didn't have any sleep as the sofa bed sank all the way down. Both the sofa bed and arm chair are very dirty. Kitchen is tiny and basically no dining area, could barely walk with the dining table there. Bathroom window and shower aren't clean. Very noisy as it's right next to the big road. Overall is an unpleasant experience won't go back there again not even for cheaper price.

Sorry to be negative, we found the bed position difficult with a window and blind, at pillow height. The bed was very firm. ( uncomfortable) so we did not get a good sleep. The shower was a ‘wet floor shower’ so everything got very wet! We did not feel it was value for money.

Great location, the beds were comfortable and you couldn't hear the road noise but sadly the unit was extremely dirty. There was a large crack in the toilet bowl, no soap, only half a roll of toilet paper for a family of 4 and no complimentary milk. The complex in general was rather run down

This is an emergency accommodation motel it seems. Unit 2 has been over used. Need a complete renovation and new furniture which is dirty and stinks. U can hear the people above through the floors. Room in poor condition. No money spent to upgrade it for non-emergency housing use. Bedding towels are a nice token in otherwise a run down place. Should tell people that emergency accom is onsite.

Clean, fresh and tidy but the shower cubicle could do with an upgrade/tidy up. The door lock needs to be fixed as had to try numerous times to get fire to open and had to get help getting in on one occasion.
