The motel room didn't have a kitchen sink, it didn't have a dish cloth to wipe down the bench, it didn't have a tea towel. I don't believe the hand basin is very hygienic for washing dishes etc. People wash their nickers in the hand basin. The walls of our room were very thin. We could hear next door talking and the TV, and when they used the shower or flushed the toilet.

Accommodation was basic, motel is in need of some maintenance, decor is dated. The driveway is a bit rough and I had to walk past 3 patches of vomit that was drying on the driveway. It had been there a few days.

I stayed more than once at this motel last week. My first review was not very complementary to do with wifi, TV, furniture in the unit. Management/Owner came to visit me after my first review and endeavoured to right some of the issues that were not satisfactory. A TV serviceman was called out to shift the decoder so the TV channels could be moved with access to other sations, 2 replacement chairs were delivered. I was given another wifi netword and password to enable me to have wifi access for my ipad and iphone. I have to say I have never received this treatment before with management trying to fill some of the negative gaps during my stay and for this I want to offer thanks and praise for their gesture. My second night was a lot more comfortable than my first night. Many thanks for your efforts.

The hotel was very dated. Old carpet, slight smell, cement block walls, broken patio door and windows. One key for door and old style lock. Room was not cleaned or checked while we were there, we had to get our own towels and linens. We were out when housekeeping was done but the team could have at least let us know. We did not even have a broom we could use to sweep up and we had garbage bags so used them when small bin overflowed. Good location, just dated building.

Great location
Very conveniently located only a short walk from the city centre and almost next to two major supermarkets. The studios are comfortable for one or two people on a short stay. The room was clean, but it's unpleasant when the toilet doesn't flush properly, even after several attempts

Motel Six definably could do with a renovation. The outside area was untidy and had weeds, old beds etc discarded in the yard. The walls are thin and there was a lot of noise. The room was very clean though.

This is an old style motel that has had various things down to modernise it. The bed was comfy, nice clean linen, plenty of space, good wifi and equipped kitchen. It is close to supermarkets. Otherwise furnishings tired and sound proofing not great but pratically it work for us.
