    Location was good, easy to find and parking was handy, had aircon. Easy to check in and check out

    Beds were uncomfortable, there wasn't any bedding for the fold out couch. No soap or anything in the bathroom. Room wasn't cleaned, found rubbish in the bedside drawers and a dead cockroach under the couch

    3ShannonPosted on: 12-6-2025

    Terrible

    The room was right next to Mac Donald’s the noise was terrible and went on until early hours of the morning. The room also had a terrible odour. And the bed cover looked liked it hadn’t been replaced in years.

    4ShalaPosted on: 11-20-2025

    Paid $265 for one night!...

    Beds uncomfortable, heat pump wasn’t working, blind was broken, bathroom sink was blocked and filled with water, smelt like sewage, couch was dirty and covered in stains, shampoo and conditioner was empty, 1 bar of soap.

    8RobynPosted on: 11-17-2025

    location perfect for conference at conference centre

    pillows a bit old and tired, no extra blanket in cupboard

    1StevePosted on: 10-27-2025

    Close to Claudlands Arena. Good places near by.

    Cockroaches running around freaked my girls out. Some areas need attention, bathroom. No soap in bathroom

    6LorrainePosted on: 10-25-2025

    This bights stay was definitely...

    Only one pillow case on the pillow. Torn curtains, no plug for hand basin and no body wash for showering. Dining chairs were wonky and could break if you didn’t sit on them carefully.Having arrived late I didn’t receive any messages to advise which room I was staying in and that it would be left unlocked. It was cold waiting for someone to arrive as reception was unattended and locked. Communication was via an intercom box. Price was definitely not value for money.

    3LiniPosted on: 10-18-2025

    Closer to our venue

    Beddings and pillow were average condition, wifi unstable

    8TianaPosted on: 10-12-2025

    Overall great room layout. bed comfortable, loved the big deep bath, and the location was amazing I thought it might be noisy with MacDonalds right next door but not at all.Will be back.

    Not much cutlery, maybe because it was just one person staying , so only one wine glass, no scissors The spa bath button, wasn’t working (Unit 9) I switched it on by the wall but still nothing,

    3SilvanaPosted on: 10-7-2025

    The location was good.

    The wifi was terrible. There were stains on the linen. There was no washcloth in the kitchen. There were missing batteries in the TV controls. There was only two sky channels. The TV in the bedroom didn't work. The carpet was stained. There was a whole in the wall behind the pullout couch. There was no compendium in the room.

    8AmandaPosted on: 9-28-2025

    It was really good value for money, with a big spa bath and also an electric blanket! That gave it extra comfort and snuggle factor.

    Bed could have been a bit less rickety and the back bit of garden was all weeds but it probably shapes up for summer.

    6TanyaPosted on: 9-28-2025

    Basic but clean.

    Very little cutlery and crockery. Needed an extra blanket on the bed.

    5SusanPosted on: 9-25-2025

    The beds were comfortable and close to the facility where we had something to attend.

    The hot point was taped at the top, and when I went to plug my charger in, it was moving and dangerous. I stepped on the mat out the door, and it shot away as slippery on the outside floor, x2 railings missing from the fence so you don't fall, we were upstairs. The shower leaked water out where the hose connected to the shower head. Moss was growing on the stairs at the top.

    Nothing no one was at reception when we went to check in, had to go to another accommodation, but booking.com took my booking and my money

    3AnnPosted on: 9-14-2025

    Not much to like

    It was duty.And the bed was hard.And just about fell over in the bathroom, when the floor got very wet.

    2susanPosted on: 8-31-2025

    Good location

    Needs maintenance heatpump not working, bathroom window latch missing, bathroom heater not working, outside light falling off wall, one thin duvet on bed and thin pillows. Blind in living room strings broken and taped up so cant used making for a dark living area. No towels changed on last day. Never seemed to be any staff around to talk to.

    Were not advised that breakfast was available. Took our own. Worst motel experience ever. Arrived and were told that the key to our unit 10, was already in the unlocked room and were verbally directed to it. Upon arrival we found many things that needed to be brought to the attention of the owners/proprietor's of the motel. I.e unkept, poorly maintained and unsafe unit 10. Have pictures and videos of our experiences in unit 10. Shortly after ceasing video, i turned on the stove hob and noted that the front hob was not going as it was still cold to touch but also moved easily and the hob sparked and blew the power to the unit. Immediately rang the owner/proprietor, Grace. Who arrived within minutes and i informed her of what had happened and that we insisted on getting another unit because of the unkept, poorly maintained and unsafe condition of the unit She replied that she would put us in the next unit, number 11. Apologized. Left and went away to presumably ring/resolve the problem. Returning about 25minutes later, with the key to number 11. Moved all our belongings next door and decided to refrain from cooking, as it was getting late, and go next door to the shopping Centre to buy our tea. After returning with our food and eating. I again took stock of the condition and noted some issues of the condition and health and safety of the unit. So that i could address them with Grace in the morning. (Pictures and videos taken.) As the shopping Centre was next door, the noise and singing from the liquor outlet/bar was very audible and as a result kept us awake until past 1am. On waking, having showered and had breakfast. I rang and requested to have a conversation with Grace at our unit. She replied that she was occupied and would come in 30minutes. 50 minutes later she arrived . I extended an invitation for her to enter the unit and sit at the table, firstly to discuss some issues with the present unit number 11.

    had to endure during the night inclusive of other health and safety issues that i had wanted to discus. She At first insisted that she did not want to enter but would have our communication with her standing out side. But eventually entered just inside the entry, because i wanted her to view my concerns.. I proposed that i would like to move to another unit, away from the noise and also discuss some readjustment in the financial fee because of the nights drama's. She informed us that all the units/rooms were all booked out. NB Apart from our vehicle and one other. I presumed was Grace. There was no one else that i observed or any other vehicles on the premises. I then informed her that we would find other accommodation and leave immediately. That i would also request a full refund of my purchase of accommodation. Of which she agreed, but that i would have to seek that refund of monies through; Booking. com . With also insisting that we leave RIGHT NOW. I hope that i have been clear enough in my description of how we were disappointed, frustrated, angry to be thought that we had been considered to be easy pickings, so to speak, in all regards and not complain about the disrespectful and disgraceful attitude and condition of the units, of some one who is in customer service or supposed to be. PLEASE ADVISE OF HOW I CAN GET REFUNDED AND THE EXTRA COST OF PAYING FOR THE ONLY PLACE WITH A VACANCY, BECAUSE OF THE ALL BLACKS V FRANCE GAME. I have photos and videos. Videos speak louder than words. Please advice.
