The base of the mattress was broken. There was rubbish in the draws and rusty water came out of the taps.

I was very disappointed with my stay.. the heater wasn’t working, so it was absolutely freezing on a cold Launceston night and the free milk was open and off

Thank you for your feedback. So sorry to hear about your issues. I will follow them up immediately. Sometimes it's a bit tricky to operate a heater you aren't familiar with, but our reception staff are always happy to help and only a phone call away.

There was a mix up on the Wotif app when the booking was made. When we arrived on the date that we wanted, we were told there was no vacancy and this had happened to 3 other people that day. The motel informed us they would authorize a full refund, however when we tried to get it, Wotif was impossible to contact. We contacted the motel, they told me they were attempting to help other people get there refunds as well and they were emailing Wotif. That's the last we have heard. Now I get a survey asking how was my stay. Hmmm!!!

Dear Guest, we are so sorry that you experienced trouble with the Wotif app. As I'm sure you understand, this is out of our control as they are a third party booking agent. As such, management of your booking needs to be done through their site or by communication with them. In these situations, where an incorrect booking date has been requested, we will always do all that we can to accommodate our guests. Unfortunately, if the motel is already full on those dates our hands are tied. The best advice is to always contact the booking agent as soon as possible.

Thank you for your review. We have not been a pet friendly hotel for quite some years now, sorry. I know if you google "pet friendly" it comes up with a list of places, but may I suggest you call ahead just to check if that is updated? We stopped accepting pets about 3 years ago, just for the comfort of our other guests. I believe our site manager tried to come up with a good solution for you in your situation and did everything she could to assist you, however you still let the dogs inside the room.

It is quite old. Could do with a good clean inside, Bed was clean and comfortable but there was no spare blanket. toilet clean. Lot of dust behind the heater on the wall, so we only had it on for short stints. cutlery- not all there. We won't stay there again. It was cheap but not my cup of tea.

There was a dirty glass of water next to the bed when i checked in, there was no soap, no bath mat, and the mattresses really need replacing. Overall probably rate it 2/10.
