Was super easy to get into the accommodation and get the room key. No interaction required! The room was perfectly clean and everything was to a great standard. The location on maps does not match the actual location so the details included in the email were essential

Exterior look of the property is nice and the area is quiet. There were multiple issues during my 1 night stay though. Firstly, The Dakota had no staff present at all. The fire alarm went off and my partner had to call the owners so that they would come to deactivate it. Secondly, the room was unhygenic, there was poo spots on the underneath of the toilet seat and on the wall next to the toilet, there was toothpaste splatter on the bathroom door and the shower floor literally had large amounts of grime in every corner and to top that off the shower was leaking quite badly, the floor was a puddle after I took a 15 minute shower. I informed the owners and sent them the photos and videos I took to which they responded that they personally cleaned the room and if im not happy to leave and they will refund me. If i had anywhere else i could go that night, I would most definitely have left. I will never stay there again and I urge others to book elsewhere, unhygenic and owners not willing to solve the issues.

Great

Super helpful and responsive pre check in. Seamless stay. I actually had a different hotel booked originally but cancelled on them as they had me on hold and talking to centralised call centres - just to see if any possibility I could check in early or get keys early - which they couldn’t give any form of reassurance or guarantee. The Dakota however sent a personal response to me straight away and were highly accommodating. Great base for a wedding or event

Aussie escape

Very clean room, excellent hot shower. Stairs to room were bit challenging for luggage. A couple of good pubs nearby for dining. One important point is no fidge or microwave in room. So only order what you can eat from the Chinese next door.

Not clean.

I stayed here twice recently for work - 10 nights in total. The communication via text was very prompt. Parking was easy. The shop opposite is not open and there is no shop in walking distance. The accommodation is pleasant but simple. The beds i stayed in both were uncomfortable and needed new mattresses - i had to sleep top to toe in one as it was so uncomfortable. The bathroom in the first room was very damp - see photos of mould and smelt. The first room need a good clean with thick dust on some surfaces. The 2nd room, upon checking in the bathroom was unclean with urine on loo and pubes. The shower flooded the room each time i used it - i did report this but it wasn't sorted. I certainly wouldn't rush back. Yes, it us cheap but all accommodation should be clean.

Not great

The other reviews are correct - the bathrooms do smell mouldy, the walls are paper thin and the beds aren't comfy. Not ideal. Parking good but did get blocked in one evening but owners sorted quickly. The shop opposite is closed and no other shops in walking distance. There is a vending machine in the reception area.
