Run-down motel in a seedy area. Room reeked of smoke despite being labelled as non-smoking, there were stains on the sheets and we were bitten by bugs in bed at night. Photos in ad do not represent the actual motel. We were offered to change to a different room, but judging by the ashtrays outside every room such an exercise would have been been futile, and it was 10pm at night.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff left early so did not see them. Provided feedback but no response. Strange behaviour of guests and neighbours in adjacent caravan park. Did not stay the night as did not feel safe for women. We were put on end of the building which felt exposed. Overpriced and images too positive. Rooms have been renovated to some extent but execution not great. External areas still needing attention.

It was difficult to find the place , especially when returning after having dinner in the town. There was no illuminated sign . The room was tidy but not worth $147, we would rate it alongside some $99 rooms we have had lately. I cannot believe the rating Wotif gave it !!!!

Shower floor was not clean. There was no phone service. They given me a room up stairs, but I cant go up, due to travelling with two dogs which they knew. So given me a small room without kitchenette and had to pay the same then a more luxurious room.
