Reviewed Jul 23, 2026Room wonderful comfy & clean.Staff member very welcoming & friendly
We decided to stay inhouse for dinner to support the restaurant booked in at 5pm as had s show at 6.30 to go to. Gave our orde plus drinksr and all of a sudden the staff member had to go to counter to check in.Guests.A number had turned up at once and we never saw him again.He was our Bartender,Chef and Receptionist.We sat there and waited bit it got to the stage when we knew we were not going to drink or eat if we stayed so let him know as we walked past counter that we had to go elsewhere very quickly of course to eat as we were running out of time. How come only one staff member to attend to everything seems bizarre and let the Motel down terribly in our estimation Imagine if there were more Guests wanting to have dinner? More staff needed to make everything a success.One cannot do 3 Jobs. 9
