Should have complained

Booked a Delux Studio room for 2 nights -less than 20sq.m. and nowhere to put a suitcase, nowhere to hang our clothes, no stove. Really spoilt our stay not what we booked through this site. Motel did not appear to be booked out, rooms were vacant. Owner was very friendly on our arrival but locked the internal door on what appeared to be a second room preventing access to more space. We certainly didn't get what we booked or what we paid for.

Myself and my partner had a lovely stay at this motel. I was greeted by the lovely Glenys who checked us in very quickly and showed me where everything was. The motel room was lovely, one of the nicest I’ve stayed in. It was very clean, the beds super comfy, had a smart tv and nice bathroom. We would definitley stay again.
