(To be fair we reached out separately to the hotel prior to submitting this to try and resolve our issues, however they never responded). We were extremely disappointed with our stay. The disappointment extends not so much that these issued occurred, but more that, in spite of alerting you to these issues, very little was done to rectify the issues. Only when repeatedly requested was the bare minimum done. Some really basic things that in any other accommodation would automatically be covered. No remote for the TV, no reception on most channels, no wifi available in the room, multiple times I asked for the soap and shampoo to be refilled (it never happened so i had to buy my own), I asked for housekeeping to make the beds (never happened), asked for pest remediation as room was FULL of bugs,(I had to do it in the end at my own expense), general cleanliness of the room (kind of addressed once, requested multiple times, the carpets and hard floors were disgusting), the smoke alarms were covered in plastic, We had to clean the pool before it could be used. On the last day breakfast was very late, to the point we nearly missed it due to plans for the day and no one answering the phone during hours. It felt like the rooms weren’t maintained after each guest, only the bedding changed (hopefully) In all, our experience of your accommodation was terrible. Would most definitely never stay there again.

This motel needs ALOT of work. The rooms are extremely run down and need a very thorough clean (don’t look under the beds - YUCK!). Rooms were not serviced daily as you would expect from a motel. For $240 per night I expect a lot better. Very basic breakfast and not very hygienic (tubs of butter, jars of spreads for everyone to share/use). Facilities around the motel in bad state too. The road in is full of potholes. Kitchen facilities are very poor. Plug for sink didn’t fit therefore couldn’t wash up. The sponge supplied was used and dirty therefore assume the utensils were not cleaned properly. No hot water to the kitchen sink. A strong smell of gas within the kitchen area as we were located close to the gas hot water systems. No fluorescence tubes in any of the bed lights. Would not recommend this motel to anyone until they do a very big makeover.

Great location to stay overnight. Really wonderful that the property made an effort to supply the free breakfast to customers (this is mind-blowing for Australia). The only thing they can work on is Internet connection. For 2023 offering unreliable internet at maximum 1Mb per second that does not even let you watch any video is ridiculous.
