Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I arrived early and asked if I could leave some luggage in a secure place. I was told no and no early checkin as the room was not ready. It turned out that it was ready so when the owner arrived about five minutes later they totally ignored me and told the receptionist it would cost an extra $20. The cost was not a problem as my luggage would be safe. The room was very tired and dirty in places this was not down to housekeeping but maintenance. Carpets were badly marked and in poor condition. The bathroom floor was not much better. There was no facilities to was the pots I had used and when I mentioned this I was informed it was not included. I didn’t try the jet bath outside as it looked like it had seen better days. Finally just before checkout everyone was treated to an almighty shouting match in mandarin between the male boss and male receptionist. Not once did I get a pleasant greeting or a simply hello. Need I say I’ll not be returning.

We chose this motel because it had such a high rating. Maybe the other rooms are better but ours was dated and seriously run down. It so needs a make over. Staff were friendly and it was clean but no amount of cleanliness can make up for aged and worn chattels.
