This place is not fit to be on hotels.com For $163 a night it’s a disgrace, mould and broken soap holder, leaking shower head (that kept me awake all night), no shampoo, conditioner or body wash, toilet brush was full of wet toilet paper and so worn out, the bed was so uncomfortable, curtains need replacement and didn’t cover the windows so outdoor light was beaming in at night, the cutlery was from a 2nd hand shop and had broken handles, the 2 chairs were stained and had a broken window in the bathroom . The place was so run down and a disgrace. I had 2 x nights booked for work purposes and left after 1 x night. I have pics to prove all this.

Dump

The complex itself is a dump. Ground floor room, only block out curtains. No privacy blinds so if you want natural light, everyone who walks right past your room can see right in. Lots of people smoking, drinking and talking outside our room for hours. Inside, NO toilet paper even though it had 2 roll dispensers. They were both empty. No milk provided for the coffee or tea. Half the powerpoints dont work. Fridge door inside broken so couldn't stand a soft drink bottle up. No top sheet on bed. Just a prickly wooden blanket. Pillow was like a rock. Old and run down. Cobwebs in the bathroom. Just a disgusting property. Find somewhere else to stay.

Good bed and great little Thai takeaway next door in the other hotel. This hotel supplies breakfast (as long as you collect it yourself before 7pm or you don’t get milk or breakfast). It’s supposed to be pet friendly but it’s hard to get a pet friendly room when booking via an app.

Was very disappointing. Continental breakfast was only cereal and bread. Bathroom smelt horrible and shower had mould and soap scum. Fridge isn't what pictures show was a tiny bar fridge just as well I took an esky. Toaster and kettle packed away in cupboard and the tea coffee and biscuits not enough for 3 people no spare blankets for if you get cold (thankfully my daughter had her own) upon check-in guy very friendly and nice but room wasn't ready we had to wait in car for 25 minutes then walk on wet tiles. The room looked nothing like photos on wotif. If travelling and not needing Fridge with freezer space then its ok for sleeping overnight beds were comfortable but they slide on floor when you get up and down off the bed. Only 1 chair provided for 4 people. Overall 2 star rating for cleanliness and convenience. 4 star for guy who checked us in and out. He was polite friendly and apologetic. Continental breakfast isn't Continental it's literally just cereal and bread for travellers who are travelling far that's definitely a disappointment.

Not good when your room is not serviced daily. I had to ask for clean towels and toilet paper constantly. Very disappointing, as the noise from the road was so loud, very hard to sleep. The motel is old and needs renovations, which I understand but no one should have to ask for their bed to be made, clean towels daily or toilet paper. The tea/coffee/2pkts of individual biscuits were never replaced. And never had a glasses/mugs replaced. We had to wash everything in boiled water from kettle. This is just unacceptable.
