If what you are looking for is a place to put your head down for the night for a bargain price then this is it. I read some of the previous reviews before booking and as a person who has stayed in a dodgy hostel or two was prepared. Yes the room is small. If you go for the cheapest option then it is a single bed, a side table and room to swing open the door. However the room is well appointed. There is plenty of storage, a television as well as standard kettle and hot drink selection. The towel and sheets are clean though the mattress was a little on the thin side. Is it a little worn. Yes. But generally it was in good condition. The walls are on the thinner side so you can listen along to your neighbours tunes. My neighbour stopped a little after midnight and I could hear some lads chatting in the hallway but otherwise it was pretty quiet. There was indeed a smell of damp in the corridor but this was not present in the room. The bathroom was clean and there was a heated towel rail and shower mat. The shower was a trial of cold and 9th circle of hell in the ladies bathroom. Check in time from 2pm is also an added bonus. I would recommend contacting the hosts ahead of time regarding check in, especially on the weekends as the cafe closes as 2pm on Saturday and is closed on Sundays. I had not contacted beforehand so was a little alarmed to arrive at 2pm to find no one there. Luckily I bumped into a member of staff before they left so I knew what room number I was in. All in all. It was a decent stay. I would stay again no issue.

The shower temperature battle. The smell of damp in the corridor. My neighbour not playing music I enjoyed.

It was comfy and good value for the money. Close to walking trails and bus stops. Overall clean and warm. Don't expect too much after all it is cheap but it's perfect if you want to spend 1-2 nights in the area to walk around and just need a bed. It can get noisy so definitely bring ear plugs. If you're a woman traveller be aware you'll probably be the only one in the building, it is after all mainly a truck stop. That doesn't mean automatically anything bad will happen to you but it can be intimidating if you're not aware.

Room was smaller than expected but it was ok for 2 nights. They should consider maybe locking the women's bathroom so the lazy drunk men don't pee all over the floor. Most of them did keep it clean but alcohol impairs aim. I wasn't made aware by OYO there would be no staff on weekend and I'd have to call the owner when i got there. Luckily number is in the window at the cafe and owner is prompt to answer.

Ideal for work please don’t be under the illusion you’re staying at the Ritz. This is somewhere to get your head down and get back to work the next day refreshed tea and coffee facilities and TV in the room are excellent staff are very helpful. Excellent menu in the café.

Only Gripe is that the café didn’t open till eight so I couldn’t get breakfast before work

Well, to be greeted by such a pleasant aroma was truly delightful. The spacious rooms had everything we desired, huge TV, comfortable king size bed and a mini bar. Amazing how quiet it was through the night, allowing us to get the perfect amount of sleep!

It was just a shame we couldn’t stay for longer!

Good value for money, communal showers and toilets were much cleaner than I anticipated them being. Bedding was clean and I saw staff changing all the rooms when I left. Cafe next door served a excellent breakfast

There was a stale smoke smell in the room which was really unpleasant, not sure if someone had been smoking somehow in the room before.

Everything!!!!

There was some baby of a man moaning and whinging at the cafe staff in the morning, but that's not the fault of the exceptional staff of Chris' Motel

The room was clean and fresh, the windows were opened on our arrival. We had to contact the manager and he responded very quickly and professionally. The TV had a lot of channels. The shower was very powerful and the bathroom was very warm.

Some of the mattresses were a bit springy, but not uncomfortable.

Staff are always amazing! So friendly, never had a problem here. Use it on many occasions while working.

Shared bathrooms, but it is what it is.

Affordable price. Perfect parking facility just in front of the motel. The staff made sure I was able to check in/access the room even though I arrived at 1am. Loved they had urinals. :) Meant no need to touch the toilet door or the flusher.

Showers a tid bit disappointing because the pressure wasn't the strongest, although the temperature was as hot as you wanted it to be. The sink in one of the shower rooms was a bit clogged which would mean you were likely to see someone's hair still there after they shaved or other bits that you don't want to see. Bathroom facilities didn't always feel clean. Tiny room but at the end of the day you can live with that if you're here just to sleep.

Although I was sceptical at first not knowing what to expect. I was absolutely delighted with the room and the vast array of showering areas.

Absolutely nothing.
