The room was falling apart, has a terrible smell, is presented poorly, needs desperately to be updated. Light fittings need cleaning / replacing (one was held together with tape) Bathroom window needs replacing Paint in all areas is peeling off. Where repainting has been done it looks like a child did it with overpainting everywhere. Fridge has rust in it. TV has a light that blinds you in the night. Curtains in the rear of the room are offcut pieces of fabric. Tiles in the bathroom are missing and painted over poorly. Bathroom fittings old and worn. Storage drawers falling apart. No flywire screen on the only widow that can be opened (bathroom). Noise at 6 am from someone collecting laundry. Front desk not manned, ring the bell and nothing happens. Ring the phone and get someone who isnt there. Clean up the carpark area, get rid of the old car being stored there.

The room was incredibly run down. Gauges out of walls, bedside lights didn’t work, no towels, no soap, bed was like concrete, broken bathroom louvres, graffiti on bathroom wall and very old furniture. The air con, tv and hot water all worked well. It’s a huge shame as this motel is in a beautiful area and close to the races and shops but there is complete disregard from the owner to the maintenance of the rooms.

WARNING! FILTHY! Cockroaches all over the floor. And to make it much worse, I went to the front desk and asked if they could clean it. They said no. I then asked for a broom, so at least I could sweep everything. They said no. They then said I could pay an amount equal to a whole extra room, and upgrade. He then said if I wanted a 5 star hotel, I should have gone somewhere else. I just wanted to get rid of cockroaches! The worst staff I have ever seen. What employer keeps staff who have an opinion of their place like that, COCKROACHES ARE EXPECTED BY THE FRONT DESK STAFF, LIVE WITH IT.

Nice location and friendly staff. Terrible room it smelt of wet dog and cigarettes. The room looked nothing like the photos used to sell the place. In fact it looked like it had never been updated since the 60’s. Just a little paint here and there to cover up the atrocities that have no doubt been committed in the room.

I don't know what motel some of the reviewers stayed in, but it can't have been this one. The place is very old with little to no maintainence done. Dirty with an over-riding stench of cigarettes, there seem to be permanent residents who appear to not to get on well. Very noisy, this is by far the worst motel I've ever stayed in.
