We stay in a cabin which supplied 3 cups, 3 drinking glasses, 3 wine glasses which is great however although there was 3 knives, forks and spoons I just could not get my head around that there were no plates! I asked at the reception and they said because it does not have a kitchenette there is no plates. The shared kitchen had nothing supplied either and I dont recall this was mentioned anywhere when I booked.

Black mould on blinds

Blinds in room had black mould in motel 7. Received a disabled room which we did not book. If you have disabled rooms you need to advise customers of this. Mould on bathroom window frames but I can forgive this as it is a high humidity area.
