There was active mold all in bathroom,black mould in shower and all roof,wet smelly carpet,flooded carpet walkway to get to room. House keeping didnt even check our kettle that had boiled noodles in from previous guest. House keeping was so loud shouting to each other and banging around early for hours on end. Heavy road noise,got hit up by other guests for drugs. Never will stay there again AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Although the booking was for 2 adults , only one coffee cup provided, no glasses. Shower leaked with water all over the floor Kitchen blind full of mould , ceiling had mould spots as did the fire alarm . Celing fan full of dirt and fluff. Table badly damaged.Walls damaged and scuffed. Entry door blind broken, and one of the blind parts fell off when we closed it . Bed linen clean but was provided with one thin blanket between two sheets . Carpet in bedroom dirty and sticky when you walked on it. Overall needs a good scrub and paint

Property was run down. Gate to enter was missing so anyone could come into the property. There was trash scattered in the parking area. We had a very noisy room, could hear people going past at all hours as well as people using the washing machine nearby at 3am. Was a room for 6 but no amenities to match - 2 cups, 2 chairs, etc. There was mould in the bathroom.

The pre- arrivak instructions and communication was excellent. Family of 5 well accomodated for - very convenient for a quick stay and go. Beds crisp and comfy- hubby fell asleep straight away. 2 bathroom and showers- clean and newly renovated. Just the walls could do w a bit of cleaning. Need lighting to where the Lockbox is for keys, the entry to Carpark pinpad also needs a more obvious sign, as does the pinpad within the carpark as thats the only way in or out . Took us a while to find the keypads as it isnt well lit and quite dark. But overall its a handy little motel. Practical for a big family not wanting to spend on luxury for a short stay.

Did not have my room available they did know why, so gave me another room that had not been made up, bed had been slept in dirty towels on the floor, so then they gave me another room, finally I was able to get some sleep, very unorganised not helpful and didn’t have any explanations, did even offer a discount for all the mucking around very disappointing would not recommend
