The crockery (specifically the mugs and glasses) were dirty and had obviously not been properly washed since the last occupant. There were shaving whiskers on the bathroom counter and all the bathroom soap dispensers etc were filthy. Had to shower with hot water only which was barely warm enough - would be a chilly shower in the colder weathr. The pool was dirty so no swim on a warm evening. Really gone downhill since my last stay a few years ago. The main entrance door lock is damaged and it is very difficult to remove the key once you open it. Also no room servicing as I discovered on my return the first evening. Disappointed.

Tried to phone motel for an hour no answer Corridor and rooms stank of Indian spices when my wife had a shower there was a rank smell of sewerage came up through the sink in the room. Were unable to find alternative accommodation for the first night elsewhere. My wife had a damp facecloth over her face all night, left first thing in the morning even before reception opened at 9am tried to ring at 9:30 but still didn’t answer the phone Suggest you do not recommend this place to anyone until issues are fixed and a review of the property for habitation is completed. I am a retired front if house manager for Travelodge so I know what is required of motels thus no way fits the bill absolutely disgusting

the contact phone number to advise of my late arrival did not respond; the expedia number similarly. I travelled for 2 hours uncertain whether I would have access to a room. the manager greeted me and gave me my key and made light of my concern. the room smelled musty and dirty. the kitchen drawers had crumbs and was grotty. The bathroom grouting was grotty. It was an old house-charming floors. the bed was really comfortable, clean sheets. I would not stay again.

Too many stairs to "Room with a View"???!! Three flights...too much for this couple in their 70s. But.... wouldn't like to stay in lesser type rooms. Appears management is trying hard to upgrade the establishment... good luck.

Feel compelled to leave a positive review for this place as it is so much better than some reviews suggest. I was reluctant about booking after reading some reviews but was more than pleasantly surprised. It’s cheap and cheerful but perfect bargain accommodation. The owner was lovely and could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend.
