We like :- the area of the motel is convenient for us as it is easy to get to and has everything we need in walking distance. (LOCATION) What we don’t like was the smelly room , old furniture, outdated and old floor coverings , old bathroom and outdated shower but the worst thing was the filthy sheets on the bed with blood stains on them !!!’ Had to sleep on bath towel to cover dirty sheet .

The cups and sink were not very clean and my husband spent time improving both. The room was dark but clean enough. Best point was being relatively close to Tasmania ferry.
