    Pros +

    • Bed was comfortable
    • The room was really cold. It had no heater. I was booked for 2 nights but only stayed one night
    • Handy location

    Cons -

    • Stains on the carpet and foul odour. Tight parking spaces. On very busy road, every time a truck drove past, it rocked the room.
    • Average quality roadside motel. Shower water flow and pressure poor. Parking limited. If you got back late others would be parked outside your room.
    • The whole room was in disrepair. Bathroom had patched holes in walls, shower was pathetic. Kitchen was rough and dirty. Asked for a single room with Queen bed end up in a room with 3 beds squeezed into a single sized room.

    Location was fine.

    Worst motel I have ever been in.No air conditioning, no microwave, very hot and stuffy, poor quality furnishings; tatty carpet mats and painted breezeblock walls.Just like a crappy 1970's cheap flat.I only stayed about 20 minutes. The time it took me to google another motel.

    We didn't have breakfast there. Very noisy with lots of trucks for most of the night. I do prefer running water in the kitchen and not have to fill the kettle in the bathroom basin.

    Tea and coffee were provided but no hot chocolate.

    It was close to the town centre.. all be it a small town

    It’s right on the main road. The unit shakes as heavy trucks drive past. The lights blind through the curtains at night. The door handle in the bathroom had clearly broken before and been poorly fixed resulting in someone getting stuck in the bathroom. The lights didn’t all work in the unit.

    Location . It was close to where I needed to be .

    The damp smell . The mismatched bedding , the crispy towels ,the sheets were flannel .the oillows smelt bad . The bed cover didn’t look like it had been cleaned from prev user . II felt dirty but didn’t shower because the towels were these grey printed hard tiny things . I know it was a cheap motel but no excuse for dirty . The whole feel of the place was gross .Checking in and checking out was great . Lovely guy at reception . But I would never ever stay here again

Towel rail rusty and not fitted to wall.No toiletries as stated on booking information. Only small soap x 2.Had to wash louvre window net curtain as stiff with dust and dirt. Louvres needed a wipe down as did window sill.NO FIRE ALARM or SPRINKLER. NO FIRE EVACUATION INSTRUCTIONS as to where to assemble in case of fire.NO Information booklet.No doormat- a bathmat in place of.Manager not welcoming.. utensils / china had used marks over them.A microwave would have been nice.

    Won’t ever stay there again

    I paid $2OO for one night and it was hori as! We have stayed in flasher motel/hotels for the same price

    1PotterPosted on: 3-21-2024

    Bad

    The room was smelly, the front door did not open easily. The unit was cold with no heater or extra blankets. The bedding was thin , the pillow on the single bed was dirty. The 2 cups plates and knives/forks were displayed on the table as there was no cupboards. No sink etc. For $159 it was disgusting. The smoke alarm had been removed. We left and did not stay the 2 nights as planned.

    1KarenPosted on: 3-21-2024

    Fridge seemed clean

    Very rough and poorly maintained, run-down units. Shower walls, windows filthy. All furnishings worn and dirty. Fresh white paint on some walls very roughly applied. Smelly stained carpet. Outside very unkept and rough.

    I regret having paid so much for this accommodation.

    If I was charged a quarter of the price, it would have still been expensive.There were stains on much of the furniture [looked as if it was recycled] and the pillowcase.The only light switch for the room was by the entrance door with a single ceiling light. The other light was in the bathroom. The cutlery was not clean. Didn't use it. There were people moving around outside the room during the night. I regret having paid for this accommodation before I arrived, Unfortunately, there were few options, but I should have taken note of the previous reviews. This standard of accommodation shouldn't be on booking.com.

    Location suited

    Dirty and outdated. Obviously full of Gov't homeless. I was woken at 4.am by someone selling drugs. Was supposed to be 2 nights but left after one.

    1GaryPosted on: 3-8-2024

    Brand new cooking elements and the fridge was large and worked well.

    On arrival a note to tell me I had to ring the manager for the key. He arrived 5 minutes later and told me he had to fix the toilet leak. Immediately after he finished, the toilet flush did not work. I called him back to fix but the cistern but once filled it continued to run and the flow of water continued to run into the bowl. The shower was so bad that the water really only trickled out. There were only 2 small hand soaps for 3 people. There was no dishwashing liquid or brushes to do the dishes. The parking space outside the rooms was small and gave little space for others to drive past. The rooms are old and hygiene and cleanliness were not good. The towels were small and only 1 per person.

    Avoid this place!!

    I didnt like ANYTHING...This lodge is very outdated. The room was musty, so much so that I just left and cut my losses...I lay down for about 5 minutes and ended up leaving to find somewhere else to stay.

    Never happened, we were told, we had no booking

    We were told ,he don't deal with Booking.com ,

    1WaynePosted on: 4-2-2023

    I booked online and paid online for one night's stay by booking,com. I arrived and was told that they no longer use booking.com and that they were full and overbooked. I would like a refund for the money I spent on a night's accommodation and never received. Feedback on Booking.com is very hard as I have feedback on my recent trip overseas about your service. I am not happy.
