This property is a few kilometres away from the main part of the city with no nearby restaurants but you can get delivery. Partially renovated but needs more finishing touches the carpet was very stained and the outside was not cleaned. Get what you pay for.

The room we had was quite clean and so was the pool. However, the motel is very run down. There were cigarette butts on the grounds even in the pool area. We went to have our complimentary breakfast and the restaurant was closed. The room had the bins emptied on our second day, however when we returned in the afternoon the door was not even closed properly, leaving it open to whoever wanted to enter during the day. Overall, it was quite overpriced for what what you get.

The room I was given was filthy dirty and would not pass an electrical safety inspection. The carpets were stained and there was only a doona and a sheet on the bed. The doona was stained and didn’t appear to have been washed between customers. The room was old tired and poorly maintained
