Need to update your old photos of WOTIF it is despicable how you can try and pass off clean rooms and a air conditioner that you can't even control, might I suggest putting in some carpets.

Realised it was a budget motel when booking but on entry to the room there was one bed, one chair, a fridge big enough to hold 6 cans of drink which also froze everything in it. Cupboards in the bathroom would not close, paint peeling off walls and doors. Bed moved if you sat in it. Was absolutely disgraceful. Pressed bell for reception and waited over 5 minutes for someone to respond. When they arrived there was no welcome, no apology for the wait.

Outdoor area was dirty, discared blue rubber glove lying outside our door. Parking area was dirty, Discarded paper and dirt everywhere Drunk guy staggering around (this was 7pm at night) Shouting from across the way made us feel very uncomfortable and unsafe. Mattress just stacked up against our window, old unplugged fridge standing next to our door. Someones car parked in the bay to our room. Badly stained carpet with what looked like a patch of dried blood on it. Looks uncared for Door to the bathroom was rotten with peeling paint at the bottom. Looks like they have permanetn residents living in some of the rooms. I have stayed in much cleaner and nicer places for less money in Australia.
