Oh boy, where do I begin. Perhaps with pubic hairs on an obviously unclean bed-sheet? The need to ask for a Wi-fi network name & password since it's not shared on arrival? A stack of spoons and sugar sachets for some reason stashed behind the Venetian blinds (a clear indication the room had not been cleaned for years). Perchance, the musty, suffocating air inside that is a sure-fire way to legionnaire's disease [still coughing after 2 days]?. Take your pick. But here is the good news! I have traveled through AU extensively, and this is officially the 2nd worst motel I've ever been to. It is incomprehensible the guy's still in business. Seriously hazardous to health: book at your own risk if there is nothing else for miles around.

Booked a triple room but only got a single with one double bed. No other room available. Supplied us with a single bed that we had to jam in the corner. No offer to compensate for the mistake.

The whole thing was so bad. There was never anyone at reception. They didn’t check any details. I literally could have been anyone. The rooms were actually horrendous and we slept fully clothed because it was so gross! We didn’t even shower there because it was so bad!

Had to wait 35 mins to get a room as room was not made up. They had ample time to do this. Electric blanket had power issues as one side worked and the other side didn’t. Was not game to use as I might have got electrocuted. Looked like there was dry blood stain on sheet. I would not recommend to anyone.

We arrived at 315, no staff on site and room wasn’t ready. Came back 2 hours later to check in and got into the room. It was horrible, looked like bad emergency accommodation. Too many things wrong to even explain. The spray painted walls with overspray on the door just one thing. It was so bad that we booked another motel and left as soon as we could. Do not waste your money here, you will live to regret it!

Could do with a huge make over in everyway. Pillow case was dirty the air con was so loud you can't have it on while your sleeping so was freezing cold. Bathroom no space to put anything... fridge was dirty just little tubs of milk. There was a microwave and some dishes so that a start. Also a very musty smell.
