Dapto Cheap Hotels

We stayed in the one bedroom executive unit in late March from Monday to Thursday in room 201. * Location is excellent, close to the train station and restaurants, easily walkable to blowhole and surf beach * Secure parking with keycard access, there are two levels and there was no shortage on weekdays * The suite itself was clean, but was more like an apartment with vinyl floors. It was comfortable but not stylish or luxurious. * Bed was reasonably comfortable * There were signs of wear and tear where maintenance could be improved - roller blinds in bedroom were flayed barely functional. Air conditioning units displaying filters needed cleaning. * Kitchenette was functional for making a cooked breakfast. Tea and coffee and long-life milk provided, but you'll need to BYO oil, salt, pepper etc. Note that the fridge does not have a freezer compartment - so there is no ice for cold drinks. * Strict 'No seafood policy'! There was a rather strict warning about getting charged $300 should any sign of seafood be detected in your room - including remnants or smells of seafood etc. Which seems a bit over the top and unfriendly for a coastal property. Taking the wording literally, you can't even have smoked salmon or canned tuna in your room! Overall, it was ok, but the no seafood policy puts us off and we probably won't stay again for that reason. A general warning about applying surcharges if not keeping the place clean and odour-free should suffice.

I found it very expensive for what it was. Contacting the site was difficult and not even a bottle of fresh water to drink on arrival.

Clean, cheap room and shared bathrooms. But sound insulation was a bit lacking.
