Coastal Motor Lodge
The unit was musty when we arrived. Had to open all doors and windows to get fresh air in the room, looking back we should have gone to management and swapped rooms. Signs of mould on ceilings. Mattress is that springy it sags in the middle. Would not stay there again. Room number 2.

Avalon Motel Thames – Wenzel Motels
All good except for proximity to busy road just beyond the pleasant gardens and little pool which we didn’t use. But double glazing helped reduce noise.
