Property was close to where we wanted to be. Beds were clean and fresh. Some maintenance issues in both rooms - ceiling fans were either like cyclones or hardly moving, only one bedside lamp was working in one of the rooms.Some attention to detail re cleaning was needed - old soap left behind, dirty cup in sink.

We have made bookings with your company for many years and were shocked at the condition of this Motel. A patch in the base of the bath tub,pillows washed but stained.Smoke alarm wrapped up in a Cole’s bag. Window had security on it but unfortunately the glass window wouldn’t close over it. I think they are trying to make it nice but I am 81 years old and we left there at 2.00am as the noise and talking from outside our window was unbearable.

This property is kot suitable for anyone to stay at. Our room had been double booked, so the lady on the front desk opted to put us into another family room (the only plus about our stay). We checked in, and had to walk through a hallway full of furniture and cigarette smoke to get to our room. Our room smelled of cigarettes, hot water did not work, the lights in the 2nd bedroom didnt work, the tv did not work. We were warned that paedophiles and drug users lived in the hotel so we should keep a close eye on the children at all times. We did not feel safe. We checked out after staying 1 out of 4 nights. The front desk agreed to refund our money, but will not respond to wotif.

Light not working in bedroom. Remote for tv not working. No one in reception, had to keep calling a mobile number for any assistance. Wi fi did not work either.

This is by far the worst motel I have stayed in in my life. There is no resort feel here apart from the center pool which we dared not enter. The rooms are not maintained. Just check out the pictures! Cockroach right next to the microwave. The shower head also spays water sidewards as a bonus feature which wets the toilet and the rest of the bathroom. The bed rolls around on the tiled floor. The bath towels are so thin they remind me of a mini camping towel. They need to up their game. I will be seeking a full refund. We were also woken up at 3am by the restaurant staff talking loudly outside our window. Avoid at all costs.

Arrived at the property and there seemed to be people living there full time as there were kids toys, dog in a pen and the place had a dirty feel. Rusty railings, chewing gum on the tiles, dirty walking areas and people smoking. The place Definitely does not look like the photos, where the place is clean and gleaming. Ended up staying elsewhere as we had a work vehicle full of tools etc. Sad really as we stayed there years ago and it was a perfect place. I do understand if people are living there due to accommodation shortage etc but people booking need to be aware and the photos need to be updated.
