Clean & tidy but very average, small shared bathroom, wet towels left on floor. Room was upstairs & was not told as I have a bad painful knee.
Location
The room was small and shower was no lock when you shower, and when you shower your head touch the ceiling, very low, i have to bend down and shower .
The cleanliness and the staff
That the photos online were not like the actual place we booked for. Completely different and misleading and would not have booked if we knew.
Strong shower•Towels, soap, and shampoo provided•Some rooms (1–7) appear more recently renovated•Room 7 had an ensuite
•Room 7 is directly under the stairs and west-facing, making it very hot in summer•Room 13 (upstairs, east-facing) and Room 7 both suffered from heavy traffic noise and light pollution, making sleep difficult on a Saturday night•Shared toilets for upstairs rooms•Doors only had handles, not proper door knobs, so they swung in the wind and banged unless locked•Bathroom door in Room 7 had no handle at all
The room was good & modern. Don't judge from the outside.
Noisy neighbours (Other people staying at the motel were loud till late 1am)
The location
no milk in the refrigerator for cup of tea, bed was hard, shower water filled the shower basin, only given two towels had to ask for more, as we booked for 4 people. Walls in the bathroom need to be wiped down, couch was uncomfortable. And oven hood needs a good clean. Shower door does not close properly and shower felt loose, you can see the gap between the shower and wall.
great location and had a nice private deck to sit on. and close parking.
Location
Broken window glass not safe for kids. No lock in main door of washroom. No sofa or chair, no table. All extension wires were open on floor, again not safe for kids. Washroom and toilet’s doors were very congested..
The staff were friendly
The stained bed sheets were definitely not good we had to sleep on top of them
Plenty of space in the kitchen/lounge area.
The Google TV was not good. Very hard to navigate. Programmes kept freezing for 5-10 seconds which degraded the watching enjoyment
Need to lots of changes in the property.it’s backpacker but cost like a Hotel or Motel.
I don’t like anything in the property also bed smells in bed sheet in unit 1 and Receptionist Behaviour is not trustworthy.once we check out she walk round unit.
Edith the manager was so lovely and helpful! The studio room felt clean and comfortable. Felt very welcomed. Thank you. From Ange
The location is great.
It’s very hot in the room, even when the fan is on, because there’s no airflow.
very simple and cosy close to shops and city
Clean room, comfortable bed and friendly service
The kitchen was a bit out of date
the staff were super nice and very accomadating!!. very good location, right in the middle ofeverything we needed.
just the driveway was abit steep and scratched my cars bumper but that could also be because of my driving lol
Cozy roomParking available at no extra costStaff was very nice
Wifi was slow
Location, manager
Room was full of ants, no wifi, little information for what resources available. Had to ask for milk for coffee. Over priced for a room
