We booked Raceways Motel in a hurry to stay for half a day while waiting for a connecting flight. We made the mistake pf not reading comments. Short stay at this motel is the most horrible motel experience we’ve had. 1. Room stink. Requested to change the room, a different room was given, it was a bit better than the initial room given, but still stunk. 2. Room not clean. There was stain, which appears to be blood stain on the counter top. The bedsheets were not clean. I am allergic to dust mites, I started itching less than an hour being on the bed (another customer had commented on the dust mites). Cupboards were dirty. (pictures attached) 3. Toilet not cleaned. Little baby cockroach on the sink 😊 (zoom picture attached). Wiring exposed. Commode bowl was stained. (pictures attached)

The manager of the motel was lovely and helpful, unfortunately the state of the room was disappointing. Cockroaches and bugs and the room stank of mould. There was also a what seemed permanent resident there who was very aggressive towards the manager and other guest. Police was called. We had to stay for the full 6nights unfortunately as were not in the position to get another motel, in that time we did not have our room cleaned once. We had to request clean towels and they smelt like they had sat in the washing machine for days. I hate leaving bad reviews but this motel has potential just needs a good clean up

It is not at all what we expected when we booked. The pictures online are old and make the Motel look more inviting but when you arrive and open your room door not at all inviting. I will not be staying there again.

When we drove in our first reaction was OMG what a dump. When we were showed to our room, we opened the door the floor wasn’t vacuumed the bin wasn’t emptied. One of the workers came in and vacuumed while we were in the room. There was hair and god knows what in the bedside table. The towels and pillow cases were brown. No way were we putting our heads on those pillows. The microwave was dirty. The Bed head, lights and bathroom weren’t cleaned, they had dust on them. No soap. The room smelt like mould and there were burn marks on the carpet (considering it was suppose to be a smoke free room) The curtains were also dusty and dirty. The cutlery was in a tackle box with bugs and dust. It says it a 8.2 out of 10 Star Rating, what a joke!! More like 0.8 out of ten. The worker came back in and asked if we were happy with the place and we said No, he offered us a refund, which we agreed too. Packed the car and got out of there fast!!! He had to call the boss to do this. he mentioned that his boss has a bad gambling issue that’s why no money is spent on the place..The photos online look nothing like the place! Definitely would not recommend the place!!

Old and worn property (do not trust the photos). TV didn't work, no shower curtain, fridge was old and musty. Appears many people staying here are "long term residents". Was woken at 2:00AM by the people staying next door having a loud fist fight. Will never stay again - please do not waste your money.
