Owners had a bad tenant in prior that had snook a pet in the room. They were very apologetic, unfortunately the pet had urinated in the kitchen area. Owners did a thorough clean, downside was the strong smell of disinfectant through the night.
Sky tv didn’t work, asked owner why and was told there is no remote as it had been stolen.
Wifi signal was poor and kept disconnecting.
Owners were helpful and it suited our needs, is ok if looking for a one night budget stay.

The rooms smelled of animal faeces, a toilet was not secure to the floor, there was something on a headboard that looked like dried faeces, there was cable ties holding up the shower head. It took a whole can of oust to just make it bearable to stay as we were there for a funeral in hamilton and had limited funds. Everything was out dated and worn or broken. I think they should be shut down!! Need I say more?

Motel room is large but old. But consistent with the price so there can be no complaints. Everything was clean but it was old and tired.

Good with some exceptions
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room could have done with a little up dating and maintenance. There was no shelves in the fridge door, so we had less room in the fridge as we had to lay the milk and juice bottles down in the fridge. The kitchen cupboards only had undercoat pain on them and in places the wallpaper was peeling. The room had no wifi, as the wireless didn't reach our room, so we had to stand outside to use our devices. The room was warm and clean and was quiet. We had a good stay, thank you.

I was placed in a room facing the road, which turns out to be a 4-lane highway. The room had no soundproofing so I was kept awake by the sound of heavy trucks and boy racers driving up and down the road for much of the night, which probably accounts for the low price. Other rooms don't face the road and would not have the same problem. The staff were pleasant. The room was clean and spacious, with a dining table and a separate kitchen. The bed was comfortable, and the extra pillows came in useful for covering my head so I could get some sleep.

Cheap stay for reason!
We were welcomed by friendly staff, however the decour was very dated and people were continually coming and going from the facilities. It served us ok for the purpose just a bed to sleep.

Bon rapport qualité/prix.
Endroit relativement propre (faut pas être maniaque) et agréable. Chambre assez spacieuse disposant de quoi cuisiner. Par contre pas très proche du centre ville.

Very Disappointing
Room nothing like the web photos. Listed available items like dvd players not supplied. We got charged extra fees for the children. Not happy at all. Could have booked a different motel for the same price after the extra charges somewhere else.
