Needs maintenance and service checkup
Needs maintenance and kitchen sink tap was incorrectly labelled so hot water came out of the cold tap - extremely dangerous! No hair dryer, no sharp knife but cockroaches in the bedroom and tv remote was randomly programmed so on/off was mute!

Did not expect to see at least four shopping trundlers and a couple of road cones out of our window on the property. Property needs a general update. Staff friendly. Conviently situated, a walk to town and transport.

Run down
The room was old and run down. The curtains were falling off the railings. The entire room wasn’t a great place to stay, I will never return and if I could have left immediately upon entering the room I would have done so. NOT value for money at all!

The Property Manager was excellent, but the motel units are extremely tired and need upgrading.
The bathrooms in particular were not up to standard.
It is a good location.

Rained at night and there is a break in the gutter above room 5 from the second floor, couldn't sleep while a fountain of water was hitting the ground right beside my room window all night. Room was clean and tidy.

No table,one chair that was ripped. No smoke alarms. No one at reception. TV always had interference. Mould around the bath.
However the cleaner went out of his way to give clean towels and top up tea and coffee.

There were no staff at the property for our whole 8 day stay. We stayed over the Christmas period & only had evidence of staff providing new towels on 2 days. Property location is ok if you have a car. Property is quite dated but reasonably clean. Bathroom & kitchen really need to be updated. A very average stay, ok as we were just sleeping there & out all day visiting family.
