Best Western - accommodation in Taree

Filthy and completely unacceptable. Do not stay here. This place looks nothing like the photos. I understand older style motels, but there's no excuse for the level of filth here, old can still be clean, and this absolutely wasn't. The room clearly hasn't had a proper clean in a long time. There was heavy build up of grime and dust around the base of the toilet, and the shower hadn't been cleaned at all, hair throughout the recess and visible grime in the grout. The recess was damp when I checked in, as though some one had showered and left before I arrived. The fridge was also in poor condition, with spills and residue that hadn't been wiped out for quite some time. Even the front of the TV and microwave had marks and splatters on them. Coffee and tea was on offer but no coffee or teacups? The only positive was that the linen appeared clean, which I made sure to check. The setup of the room is also impractical, the TV faced the opposite wall, not the bed, so you're forced to sit on an uncomfortabel chair to watch it. The only window is the beside the door which faced into a small common courtyard. If you had your curtain open, the room opposite or people walking past can see straight into yours. No bedside table either. I spoke with other guests in passing during my stay, and they shared the same experience. And the kicker is, this cost me $157 a night! If you are looking for a clean budget friendly option go to Crescent Motel or Marco Polo, much better!

The room that i was in this time needs a cockroach treatment. It had a number of german roaches from infant to adult less the dozen i killed

The bed was very u comfortable, the mattress springs were poking into the body on side of the bed. We had one night stay as a journey stopover for sleep, I could sleep at all. Also there were only 2 plate and 2 cups and we were 3 of us.
