We arrived a day later than planned due to the storms. Upon being shown to our room, we were told about the painting that was occurring throughout our stay. Unfortunately due to medical reasons, we could not stay with the painting occurring. We asked for a refund and the staff were very kind and actioned this request. The refund was gratefully received 1 week later.

It was probably the worst motel we've ever stayed in. Loud music playing past midnight. The room smelt of vomit. The bed was squeaky and extremely uncomfortable. The pillows were too soft and felt empty. The sensor lights in the female bathroom and along the corridor did not work. So we had to use our phone light each time we go to the toilet. The room was big, but there was no mini fridge, no kettle nor tea/coffee provided. Very disappointing.

Review of current room product cleanliness

Check in was great. Greeting by bright bubbly staff who are super helpful. - Room overall was not up to hygiene standard. The cushions was dirty and digusting, with stains on them representing they hadnt cleaned. - The bed linin also had black stains on them and in them additionally there was a blood stain on the doona. - The bed itself was two single beds put together to make a larger one. The room was advertised as queen. Being the two singles together do make a queen this is not the impression of a queen size bed we had booked in mind. - Under the bed was disgusting. Clearly the two single beds havent been moved to clean under it. There was cut nails under the bed, loads of dust. - The curtains also had what looked like to be snot. All in all for needing a place to rest your head, it is okay. For hygiene purposes it did not feel like the cleanest place.

Motorbike ok.

Nice atmosphere and location. Just shame no fan operational. Little bit hot and stuffy until open windows and door for a while. Some old fashion entertainment.

To be blunt you get what you pay for and the room is cheap so keep that in mind. I had the king size suite king size bed. 2 single beds pushed together does not make it king size im average 6ft and my feet hang over the edge, no aircon just a fan from the 80s that doesnt do anything or move any air a window opens only slightly with no flt screen so bug city when open. No fridge they have a kettle and 2 cups but no coffee or spoons, the glasses in the batheroom had not been cleaned from the last guest. Pretty awful and cheap but you get what you pay for, in this day and age spend $1000 put in a new fan and tv and fridge and the rest can be forgiven.

The staff were amazing, but no air conditioning upstairs where the rooms were and was like a sauna it was a 30* degree day plus our fan in our room didn’t work properly it was just on slow motion so it was very uncomfortable trying to get ready to go downstairs to the pub to a function We couldn’t sleep because it was very uncomfortable way to hot Plus soap should be provided in the bathroom for washing hands
