Air con was not working. Tiny cabin for three people like a submarine. Closet toilet and shower not enough room to even dry yourself. Paid for breakfast for three and told not available until 7am - useless when you need an early start. Just a horrible place. Avoid like the plague. Would be overpriced at $50

Air conditioning worked but walls were dirty and there were cobwebs on the ceiling. No cover over the drain in the shower. Terrible odour in the bathroom. I understand it was a cheap hotel but we expected better - cleanliness should be a priority

We ordered breakfast. Disappointed that only Granola was available and two oranges left. The fruit should have been replenished and the cereal options as people ate. Only white bread available. Why not wholemeal? I asked for an extra pillow at 2.15pm. Told yes. Not there when we got back at 7.45pm. Then no pillows available.

Booking into the property at 4pm and the room was still being cleaned. Room 305 the “keys” that were delivered did not work on the door, had to go down and fix. Bedroom 1 had no bulb in bedside table, one small watt roof light not sufficient lighting. Aircon had a remote that didn’t work. Three air cons on balcony 1 for our room not sure what rooms they were working but we’re going strongly and some were noisy and we’re going all night. I had booked to rooms 305 and 410. 410 the oven door would not close and had to have a foot pushing it to warm up dinner. Dishwasher top draw broken. We applied a fix. Once working it blew the fuse so we turned it off. These items were major OH&S issues. Area around the car park was very messy. We would choose not to stay in future.

Husband booked us a room without reading reviews first, bless him. While everything in our room was tidy & in it's place, several design aspects/furnishings were either outdated, a little challenging, minimal or altogether absent. I did us a favor by taking a few items to compensate if needed, after reading previous reviews, eg. quilt (no spare blankets in room and heater barely working), extension cord for hubby's CPAP as power points were located further away & thankfully, our own pillows (their pillows were awful). The bathroom could best be described as a closet-sized demountable-like cavity, with nothing between shower & toilet to contain the water & that's after one manages to accomplish the 30cm (at least) step up with no grab bar to assist for safety. Not the easiest for older guests or, having to wear a moon boot like I had to at the time. Very cramped toilet area. Lint/fluff collected in nooks/edges, only 3x hangers on a wall peg for clothes, a plastic cube for a chair, no hand towel or soap for handwashing - just an all-in-one pump bottle stuck to shower wall. Pics shown on website did not correlate to our reality. Located at very busy intersection ~ prepare for traffic noise 24/7. Fortunately, we only needed one night's accommodation and perhaps we were expecting a more user-friendly layout, including what I thought were considered to be standard comforts/items - perhaps this is what $90 looks like. NB - I can not speak of the other rooms on offer.

Ibis want to charge for use of the carpark in the motel complex, this is not an inner city motel it is suburban. I cannot help but wonder if the provision of parking for guests was a condition of planning approval for their build and if so why is it seen as a justifiable extra
