No kitchen sink was a surprise. The shower was very new and modern but the hot water temp was a bit low in my opinion, other than that , it was ok.

Room was not serviced for 2 days. Had to ask for toilet paper,new towels and milk which should be checked and serviced daily! When asked about these devices, the staff said, sorry it wasn't on the list for service! Apart from that, good central location but not sure if I would stay there again..

I liked the cleanliness of the unit. The layout was nice. Lovely bathroom facilities. No standard cooking facilities but i asked and they provided, happy. Serviced daily, happy. Close to town, happy. No sky tv, only thing i didn't like. I don't have it at home, nice to have it in a motel. On departure asked about recycling, was told to leave in unit, happy.
