The room was only partially cleaned for my late arrival. Some of the furniture was dusty and the inside of the bathroom drawers had hair and dust in them. All of the containers for shampoo, soaps, etc needed refills. The coffee and tea were so old, the packaging was breaking open. The fabric headboard smelled like old cigarette smoke. The person on the front desk was as helpful as he could be, considering it was over New Years that I was there. The outside grass has just gone to weeds. Outside waste bins were overflowing. If it weren’t for vehicles parked there, the property would look like it had been abandoned.

First impressions weren't great on arrival, the front lawns were overgrown, mail was falling out of the letterbox, exterior bins were overflowing. There was insufficient cutlery and linen, and they curtain track had come away from the wall at one end so you had to be very careful when opening and closing the curtain. It also appears the office is not manned, as there was no one on site when we arrived about 6:30pm or when we departed about 8am.

Hardly any utensils.( 2 knives, one fork, 2 spoons) Cupboard doors wonky. No WiFi? The grounds were not tidy. Gardens and grassed areas had not been cut for months. The main manager was always helpful but generally others not professional.
