Bridgewater accommodation from NZ$172

Great stay, AC Unit was really loud but it drowned out the smokers in the back.

Very run down and smelly

Where to start.... there were 2 drywall patches on wall just inside the door. These were white unpainted 5 inch circles. A couple of grey paint drips on lower bathroom wall, and rust mark on floor by toilet. The toilet kept running continually. The flap inside was detoriated so needed replaced - you couldn't just jingle handle and hope it would resettle - heard sound all night. The toilet had rust stains. Rust marks on shower curtain rod and the holder of the towels. The sheets and towels were in ok condition and the bath tub was clean. There was a strange banging noise at 4 am for an hour. The manager was polite and had tried to give us a quiet room. Place used by truck drivers so a couple left at 530 am - diesel vehicles are loud. Not best neighbourhood, but not on a highway. I would not stay there again. On back of the little envelope for door key card were safety instructions: Always use deadbolt, secure valuables, report suspicious person or acts, never open door prior to verifying ID. Good tips, but made us think that security and safety are an issue at this hotel. Was very overpriced for what you get. I would NOT stay there again.
