Lucky we were only staying one night. I mean I guess you get what you pay for. Heater was terrible barely heated up lounge. No extra blankets. Plug sockets were wobbly and looked unsafe. Rooms need a huge revamp, peeling wallpaper, stains on walls and carpet. Blown light bulbs. I could go on but won't.

Below a cheap standard, and not value for money

We chose a cheap option for accommodation but this was below standard even for the price we paid. "Tired and unloved" does it too much justice. Carpets were dirty. Bed sagged. Furniture and fittings old and scruffy.

At the time of booking roadworks were being undertaken on the road in front of the motel. This was beyond the managers control, but very noisey. Unit was dated, but clean. Sheets and towels crisp white and clean.

Mac welcomed me....motel a lot of potential but taps leaked all the time, no plug for the sink, oven did not work, salt and pepper shakers needed cleaning and contents contaminated. I understand he is fixing things up.....good luck but he needs to get onto the water issues and handles on taps that are out of date and cannot be handled by arthritis hands.
