We stayed in a 3 bedroom room. There were enough beds. We were only able to fill the bathtub with hot water once. The second time, I didn't have enough hot water, so I had to take a shower instead. Hand washing facilities in the main bedroom were prohibited. I am satisfied because the cost performance is very good. The staff were also kind and friendly.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
No teaspoons or drinking glasses provided - only wine glasses and coffee mugs. Nothing matched - crockery or cutlery. Asked for our room to be serviced - beds weren't touched, kitchen wasn't touched. Tea/coffee wasn't refilled in our 3 day stay. One out of 3 towels was changed.... Room was dated decor wise. But was sunny and office staff helpful - hairdryer stopped working and was replaced straight away.

I was stranded when my flight got canceled and they put me in a nice downstairs studio so i didn't have to struggle up stairs. When it was canceled again they let me re check in to the same room. Basic motel, but had everything i needed. Let's hope next time i stay it is on a planned trip.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities

Below expectation

The unit was a 2-storey unit, large enough for my family of 7. Most appliances were old, the toilet at lower floor was fitted with a loose sliding door. No one dare to use it because the gap is too big. Toilet at upper floor had urine smell. It could be due to the carpeted toilet floor. Pillow case was dirty. Car park was cramped, narrow bend, and extremely bad for minibus, especially when others some dies not parked in their lot.

It is a three star motel. I do not expect brand new. I do expect cleanliness, courteous helpful staff, and everything working as it should in the bathroom and kitchen. I was not disappointed. The seats and bed were very comfortable. Excellent.
