We had a room with a bunk which squeaked loudly with any movement and stopped us from sleeping. We could hear the noise of another bunk squeaking next door all night long too. There was underwear left in bathroom when we arrived so obviously hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly. Room smelt very musty. Breakfast options super limited. We will never go back!

The Tap on the Bathroom Vanity was loose. It needed 2 hands to alter the water temp. Tap was stiff to turn on & sometimes ended up with a huge blast of water that splashed on floor & clothing. Very difficult with Arthritic hands.

The cleanliness of this property was disgusting. I had two rooms booked. One was fine but the other had pee on the floor and the fridge had a foul odour. I ask management if they could please clean, they didn’t. They did give us clean towels for the second day but didn’t bother with cleaning out the fridge and I cleaned the urine myself. Unhappy. Won’t be staying there again.

This property is a few kilometres away from the main part of the city with no nearby restaurants but you can get delivery. Partially renovated but needs more finishing touches the carpet was very stained and the outside was not cleaned. Get what you pay for.

The room we had was quite clean and so was the pool. However, the motel is very run down. There were cigarette butts on the grounds even in the pool area. We went to have our complimentary breakfast and the restaurant was closed. The room had the bins emptied on our second day, however when we returned in the afternoon the door was not even closed properly, leaving it open to whoever wanted to enter during the day. Overall, it was quite overpriced for what what you get.

The room I was given was filthy dirty and would not pass an electrical safety inspection. The carpets were stained and there was only a doona and a sheet on the bed. The doona was stained and didn’t appear to have been washed between customers. The room was old tired and poorly maintained
