The property/room that we viewed and were shown online was not what we walked into. The bathroom was full of mould, there was no extra blankets for when we got cold. This was not the family room with beach views and a balcony that we paid for or what we thought we had paid for, the room we had was not value for money,

Great location, that's the only good thing about this property. Property on arrival was dirty & unmaintained. Was sent a text to say get key from box marked 'key pick up' No such sign on box, had to guess. Buttons did not work, took 3 goes to open. Room was uninviting & shabby. Couch was worn & filthy (did not sit on). No coffee table. Tape on floor by the door. Fridge was rusty. Kettle could not be filled in sink as it was too big, had to be held under shower head to fill. Shower was disgustingly mouldy on all walls & black mould on ceiling. Toilet paper holder almost falling off. Could not properly do dishes in undersized sink as there was no plug. Sink hole was rusty. Pool was peeling & filthy (did not go in). This property was worth $100 AT BEST. $160 was a complete rip off. Would not recommend.

Liked: Staff & service

Its ok

The position of the motel was great, oposite the strand and well within reach of really nice restaurants. Including the Shorehouse restaurant, which as great. The room its 5 out of 10 for everything. Everything half worked or was half serviceable. For the price you are well and truly there for the area. I particularly hated that there was no insde lock, chain, or door bolt. That the sliding doir blinds would flap all night with air-conditioning directly above it and Tv position wouldnt allow comfortable viewing in any position in the room. Like i said everything was 5 out of 10. I would say the afterhours service when power failed in room was great 30minutes to correct was good.
