Disappointing Stay – Poor Maintenance and Lack of Basic Amenities The property was very run-down and not as advertised. Several key amenities were out of order, including the pool, spa, and washing machine. We booked the place for six people, but there were only five beds available, and no towels were provided. The overall cleanliness was lacking—the oven was dirty, plates were chipped, and the floors were sticky. The beds were old and uncomfortable, and my room had an unpleasant musty smell, like an old man’s lingering odor. The only positive aspect was the location, which was great. However, given the poor condition of the property, I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless major improvements are made

they ask for a $100.00 bond when you arrive and then they will deposit it back into your visa account, in this case they took another$100.00 out, by the time you check your statementits a couple of hours later you are well on your way, they dont answer they phone. Would NOT RECOMMEND this motel at all

Would not recommend

This motor lodge is in very poor condition. The floors were sticky and we discovered a lot of rubbish including a dead cockroach underneath the couch. The tv did not work, apparently there is no aerial.

The room, bathroom and kitchen were clean. On the positive side we had booked a studio unit and got a full motel unit. On the negative side the bed was so hard that it was like sleeping on the floor. One of us didn't get much sleep because of that.

We had a very nice stay. The rooms are a great size and had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed the swing set out back. The pool isn’t open but we weren’t planning on using it. KFC and Woolworths are very close, which was convenient. There is no A/C but our room had 3 fans which really helped.

I did not sleep here. I left 5 minutes after check in despite having a non refundable booking. The room door did not lock. The room smelt musty & mouldy. Stand fan was filthy. Feel free to read my other reviews - I am generally easy to please. But this place was totally unacceptable. Only good things were that you can park outide your room door & the kitchn fridge had a spacious freezer.
