Dirty plate left in bedside cabinet upstairs Reception helpful

Quieter time in town, but asked to check in earlier, which was fantastic, as it allowed us to get to the springs for the afternoon, followed by dinner at a great nearby restaurant.

I read some reviews from last year that were condemning, there appears to be work happening since then. 1It was clean, beds in new condition and comfortable. Bathroom, clean and tidy, may have had work done as well. New sliding door, all windows appear new, front door very tidy. Carpet up stairs needs replacing, stairs are a bit wobbly. No toaster in kitchen and lack of cutlery, no sharp knife. Crockery and glasses in good condition. I feel it is good value for money and l know a few things to take for a future stay. Once these things have been attended to it should be ready for a new grading by Motel Assn.

Larchwood Motel is well located. However it is severely lacking in up-keep and maintenance. Upon entering the unit it was smelly - stale alcohol/smoke. We opened up the room (it was freezing) for 15 minutes or so to air it out. The curtains are shabby and ill fitting on some windows. The bathroom was adequate but again shabby, a soiled towel had been left on the hook from a previous stay. The one positive is that the bedding/beds were clean and crisp. Our stay was for one short night, we would not have persevered if it was longer.
