I booked this motel based on its 8.8-star rating, but I can confidently say it falls far short of that!! The bathroom was filthy, and instead of proper towels, I was provided with two dirty floor mats, no full-sized towel at all. I could hear loud banging, children screaming and general noise from the other rooms that continued throughout the night, and the smell of food from the owners’ kitchen permeated my entire room, as it was located near the reception and private residence.
The lighting in the room was harsh and clinical, more like a hospital than a restful space. Dust coated all four walls, the bed was rock-hard, and the overall atmosphere felt neglected and uninviting.
As a solo female traveller just passing through, I was simply looking for a clean and safe place to sleep. Unfortunately, I felt I had neither. The front door was hollow and secured with only a single basic lock. The blinds were thin and barely blocked the glaring fluorescent light from outside. To make matters worse, there was a pair of “communal thongs” left in the room, presumably because even the staff knew the shower was too dirty to use barefoot.
When I asked the receptionist about food options nearby, she was dismissive and unhelpful, telling me to “just use Google.” She eventually mentioned a local pub but was neither friendly nor welcoming.
I barely slept and left as soon as it was light enough to continue my drive. Unless you're absolutely desperate, I would not recommend staying here.
