My family arrived and we had booked a 2 bedroom unit for the 4 members if my family. We were disgusted with how dirty the place was. Especially the kitchen, plates, cutlery etc and the window behind the stove is covered in grease. The plates and cutlery were filthy so we had to wash everything before we used it and as we booked for four members we would have expected enough cutlery for all of us but there was only 3 spoons and 3 forks! There were no basic items sullied such as tissues or face cloths and while we had been given four towels we had to only use them once as the shower seal was leaking and flooded the bathroom floor whenever any of us had a shower so we had to mop it all up with the towels. Then when we turned down the bed the bed cover had a great big stain on it. Overall we were disgusted with how dirty and unclean the place was and there was never anybody there in the office to even talk about this with. We would never recommend and will never go back.

There were no staff at the property for our whole 8 day stay. We stayed over the Christmas period & only had evidence of staff providing new towels on 2 days. Property location is ok if you have a car. Property is quite dated but reasonably clean. Bathroom & kitchen really need to be updated. A very average stay, ok as we were just sleeping there & out all day visiting family.

Arrived and stood around for 20 minutes waiting to get my room. I had prepaid online and the manager told me repeatedly that my payment declined. I showed them my receipt and bank record to prove the money had hone out. I was then told I had to email these to her manager to prove my payment had gone through. All in all, extremely unprofessional, it felt like I was being scammed. Property is dirty and noisy and extremely run down.

Om arrival we were greeted by a locked reception area with a note telling us to ring a number to retrieve our key from a lock box on entering the room it was tidy enough but there were hardly any utensils so I emailed the establishment asking for two forks and the wifi password as there was no instructions left about jow to connect to the "free" wifi it was suffice for wat we needed for our 3 day stay Bed(comfy) Shower(excellent!) I appreciated the fact they placed us in a ground level room but over our two night stay we had very loud people above us Also we were out of our room for a whole day from 11am but there was no cleaning done to our room they decided to come while we were in our room and asked did we need anything? I says yes clean towels pls and our rubbish needs removing So I guess for a cheap room it was suffice and basic

Website needs updating, stuff listed on there was not in the room eg. Iron and ironing board in every room and we had to ask for one. Noisy shower pipework. No handle on shower door. Mirrors all smeared and greasy, couldn't see in them clearly, as was the shower glass. For a five bed room there were only two eating bowls and four plates. Crockery and cutlery needed cleaning before using. Stove top rusted through. Fridge wobbly only had three feet. Noisy stairs. Needs more lounge seating, two person couch for a five bed room. Walls were filthy and need painting. Light shade over lounge area dusty as. Service poor, reception never maned, doorbell and phone outside reception don't work. Could smell cigarette smoke in our room from others smoking. Soap dispenser in bathroom didn't work or the ones in the shower. Can see where a washing machines been removed, all plumbing still visible. Wouldn't recommend this motor inn to anyone to stay at.

I didn't like outside the window looking down at rubbish and old rubbish looking bicycle or the water damage that looks like it is getting moldy in the bathroom. The wallpaper on the other side looked water stained. The TV kept lagging and cutting out. The bed was comfy though.

On our arrival the gentleman at the reception desk was not friendly or co-operative at all, told us to contact their receptionist by phone and sort out the matter with her, unfortunately her attitude was worse than the gentleman at the reception desk and had to contact Wotif to sort out the matter of us wanting to leave a day earlier. The property had no dishwashing liquid so we could wash our dishes, the room was not cleaned or beds made the next day, no WiFi password given, no one maning the reception desk the whole weekend, the list could go on. I will not stay there again or recommend to anyone else.

Ok for cheap accomodation. We were disappointed that there wasnt a restaurant/bar onsite as advertised and we had to find a restaurant for dinner instead, although found an amazing italian restaurant 15min walk from the motel. Staff rating only marked as average as reception was unattended when we came back as room wasn't quite ready when we first arrived and had to use phone to ring number to get key off cleaning staff member who didnt speak much english, so couldn't answer any of our questions. Main receptionist was nice and helpful though.
