Kerry's Motel

Very clean, and had everything we needed. Staff extremely welcoming even though we arrived before the official check-in time.

When booking from the other end of the island we only had the photos and reviews to work with and this only looked ok (given the price and location). When we turned up (after a long day driving etc) we were dismayed to see that there was a lot of ‘dumped’ furniture and rubbish on the street but thought ‘we will stick with it’. The host Kerry was nice and very helpful and was very accomodating (+) so we ventured up to the room. Now I can probably live with the bottle of water and cigarette butts outside our room and I can live with the general run down nature of the hotel but the white stains (many white stains) almost did it for me - but we stayed. I was not confident enough in the cleaning to take my shoes off. The I used the toilet and the dust and grime around the window really shows that my lack of faith was well judged. Spent the night in what was a surprisingly comfortable bed with crisp clean sheets (+) but would not stay for our, usual, breakfast as the crockery was old, chipped and not really clean and I wasn’t even game enough to get the toaster out. Now some may say ‘you get a budget hotel for a budget price but we moved to another establishment just around the corner which is cheaper and 200 % better value and condition. Normally I would not comment on this sort of place BUT photos and reviews should be an honest assessment and these are not.
