Didn't stay as it didn't feel comfortable or clean with the state the place was in, ended up leaving

The place had poor lighting, there were holes in the walls in the bathroom, we turned the stove on and it was that dirty that it set the smoke alarms off. Small heater to heat the whole place, wasn't very nice. Bugs flying all around the rooms, beds and bedding didn't look very nice, certainly not worth what we paid for. We didn't end up staying and had to find somewhere else for the night. So ended up having to pay for two motels because Ferry Motels were not as they are described on Booking Com

The staff were exceptionally helpful. There are obviously a few issues and renovations going on but the staff went out of their way to resolve any issues. They gave us a discount on another room when we added a guest at the last minute, and discounted that further when the TV wouldn't go. It was a very cheap rate, and was suitable for a boys weekend to watch a sports event.

Would not choose to stay there now, knowing what it is like.

It was clean. It was very shabby and not in a chic way. Cigarette burns on the table. Couch has previously been used for dogs…you could smell it and I had a major allergy attack.
