The room was very run down with several lights not working and broken fixtures in the bathroom. Mine and two other cars had their windows smashed over night in the hotel car park. Two staff members were helpful in cleaning up the glass.

Rooms are good value for money/roomy and comfortable. I want to stay here again but, unfortunately (at time of writing), the car park is not secure. During my stay, three cars had their side-windows smashed-in during the early hours. The car park is located away from rooms so no one knew about crime until the morning. Local police investigated and commented that the area is problematic. Bell Motel can't be blamed for the actions of criminals but I hope they can consider introducing security measures for the car park that minimise the risks posed by its location away from rooms (e.g. motion-detection lights, boom gate, better cameras to record crime so prosecutions can occur). I really want to acknowledge the kind hotel staff who did their best to help the affected guests (e.g. they vacuumed out all the glass from our cars, cooperated with police investigation, etc.).
