In the first room the air conditioning was broken, but the staff were amazing and quickly swapped me to another room. However in that room the bathroom light didn’t work. Despite the faulty rooms, their condition was clean and the staff were amazing. Would stay again.

Renee

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Air conditioning did not work and only stayed on one temperature as it was set in Fahrenheit and unable to change or adjust, Unable to open window for fresh air as I was on bottom floor, very noisy next to traffic lights. Thick dust on bed head, sink was dirty , big rust spot on bottom corner area of bathroom wall , only thing clean was a fresh made bed on arrival. Floor was filthy not swept or mopped. Small Bar Fridge froze drinks and food as there was no adjustment on fridge temperature to stop freezing. Inconsiderate patrons at all hours during the night, no respect for people staying or sleeping . Had to pay an extra $10.00 for parking on the grounds . Absolutely disgusting. Place has gone down hill. Corridors smelt , mould in shower covered up with silicon. Shower sprayed water everywhere, had to use own personal towel as a floor mat to stop the water from going out shower even though I had shower head facing against wall away from door entrance.

No breakfast taken cannot comment. Room was clean, air conditioned and staff were great. Only criticism was the toilet/shower module did not contain a hand basin for use after going to toilet, also there is a large step to enter the module which, as elderly couple found it quite awkward. For one night it was ok for a budget motel.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff were friendly, which we appreciated. However, we were disappointed to see such a big difference in room prices — $177 on their website, $127 on Wotif, and $99 advertised when we arrived. Our room was on the top floor with many steps and no lift, which was a bit tiring. The room also felt very humid, and the air conditioning didn’t work well, so we didn’t sleep comfortably. The bed itself was nice, but there were no extra pillows available. Overall, it wasn’t the best experience, and we probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Air con was not working. Tiny cabin for three people like a submarine. Closet toilet and shower not enough room to even dry yourself. Paid for breakfast for three and told not available until 7am - useless when you need an early start. Just a horrible place. Avoid like the plague. Would be overpriced at $50
