Christine, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay as it is near the town and not far from the Gorge. Staff was awesome and allowed me tlo check in early.
Preston, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Were told no breakfast even though booked through Expedia.
Fiona, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unorganised, dirty, wrong room didn’t stay
Abbey, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Single blanket made up on queen bed- looked hilarious! Curtains barely covered window space when stretched out flat, allowed light in big time. Piles of furniture and rubbish everywhere, very unkempt outside areas. Noisy AC, freezer hardly froze ice bricks, the list does go on and on
Pauline, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The receptionist is very friendly, he helped me with the luggage. Room is comfortable and clean, they have a big front yard with beautiful view. The location is not far from town but enough to be quiet at night, they also have electric gate for security. You could have breakfast buffet with the discount price 15$.
Cao Thang, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

They tried to put our 3 guests into a single room and then said it was our fault for not understanding the website
Garry, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

I’m not sure if they cleaned the room before we arrived. There was soap and opened shampoo bottles left in the shower still.

Phillip, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unit was dirty. Accommodation was run down. There were not enough eating utensils and drink ware for two people. How can you wash up what you use when there is not even a plug for the sink or a tea towel.
Deb, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I had booked and paid for 2 nights with breakfast but upon seeing the room I raised my concerns with the manager as I was then told to leave the premises as he would not let me stay in any rooms of his. I want a complete refund
