6/10 Good

We only needed 1 room with 2 beds, but somehow we paid for 2rooms.1 room was upstairs and 1 downstairs and a distance away Pillows not good, no microwave in room. No glasses for wine or drinks. 1 teaspoon in room which looked like a jam jar spoon. Shower head was broken. Would be ok for overnight stay but not a few nights. We had to go out and get knives, forks and plates. Rooms were not what pictures were lead to belive room would be like. We stayed at other Motels on the way home which was cheaper and more equipped in the kitchen area.

Owner needs to address maintenance, split system didn’t work as filter was full of dirt, toilet wouldn’t stop running, no toilet paper holder, shower soap holder fell off, double bed needs replacing and only 1 mug for a hot drinks.

4/10 Fair

While this motel is convenient for being close to major airports, the room left a lot to be desired. The worst features were a number of electrical outlets that were broken and unsafe in the room, and a complete lack of cutlery and only two mugs for hot beverages. Only recommend a stay here if you need quick access to airports prior to a trip away.

2/10 Poor

Bed had a mattress which was overdue for replacement. Sagged in the middle and could feel the metal springs. The room we were allocated could sleep 5, but there was only one mug and one very tiny spoon to stir with. Bathroom was very old and needs refurbishment, no toilet roll holder, soap dish lying on floor of shower, which showed signs that the tiles needed a very deep clean. When checking in I became very suspicious when the woman wanted to take a copy of my drivers licence, without saying why!. I refused, but let her check my name against the booking. Overall dissatisfied.

I had my 12 yr old Granddaughter with me. She locked her phone in the room. It cost $50 for a staff member to open the door....what a bloody ripoff. Also, there was no cutlery or crockery for buying a take away meal to eat in the room. We needed to share one very tiny 1/4 sized "teaspoon" for both coffee and food. I went to the office to see about cutlery and it was dark and locked. That was about 7.30 and they were supposed to be open till 10....haha.Extremely bare necessities in the room....no hairdryer.

Filthy graffittied rooms, discarded broken bike at bottom of stairs, mouldy shower, very cheap toiletries, no face washer, towels that old they were seethrough, pillows from last century. Disgraceful and 3.5 star rating is fraudulent

Cleanliness was sub par, no drain stop in basin with a cigarette in the trap, taps had nothing holding them on, dodgey repair jobs of silicone throughout the bathroom, mould growing in corners, wifi was horrible and dropping in and out had to use my own data, room smelt like cigarettes as witnessed a cleaner smoking in and out of rooms while he “cleaned” had to move the bad to get to outlet in the wall and they had very clearly never been moved to be vacuumed. The edging of the carpet to tiled area had a edging that was damaged and lifted catching my foot every time I walked past it heater in bathroom was out of order, heating ac in the room blew out stinky air, parking was horrible and crowded at times, inconvenient location to get in and out of. Just very unfortunate but I guess you get what you pay for and I guess I payed for a diy home Reno room.
