    Pros +

    • Only the location
    • After booking I read the reviews and I freaking out, expecting the worse. They must have changed management or something because the place was clean and tidy. Linen was crispy white. Couldn¿t use pool due to weather but it look clean and inviting.
    • location

    Cons -

    • The room was extremely small and the toilet and shower seriously need renovation.The shower is small The car park needs to be updated as well. There is no cemented car park and some body even scratched my car at their car park. Worst experience ever.
    • No, everything was in good condition.
    • The website says it¿s newly renovated ¿ it¿s not. The place is filthy, it looks like it has had no maintenance for decades. Furniture is old and worn out, the walls have stains on them. Pool area is messy. Noisy guests.

    The location is perfect

    The paint on the walls was falling apart. The paint on the tiles in the shower was falling off, the shower had so much scum build up. The bathroom door was broken so it wouldn't shut properly.

    Really helpful and friendly staff. It is in the best location and has secure parking. You can walk everywhere from motel.

    Toilet would not flush probably and there was a small stain on the quilt.

    Extremely Poor Stay

    A request for a refund for my recent stay at Hotel El Lago Waters, The Entrance, NSW, due to the extremely poor condition of the accommodation and facilities, which fell well below an acceptable standard, has not been met.During our stay, the air conditioning was not working. We attempted to open the windows for ventilation, however they were very difficult to open and, once opened, the noise levels were unbearable, including constant traffic noise, car alarms, and noise from nearby gravel roads. This made it impossible to rest or sleep comfortably.The bed was extremely uncomfortable, with a very springy mattress. The bathroom was in a grotty condition, with a cheap plastic toilet seat that did not appear properly fitted. Noise from other rooms was excessive throughout the night, including toilets flushing, showers running, televisions, and babies crying, indicating very poor soundproofing.The television in the room was not secured on a proper stand and was unstable, nearly falling to the floor. There was significant dust buildup behind the television. Additionally, there were no globes in the bedside lamps, and the power outlets beside the bed had tape placed over them, preventing their use altogether.The swimming pool was not fit for use, being visibly cloudy. We were advised by a staff member that chemicals still needed to be purchased, meaning the pool was not ready for guests. Common areas such as foyers and hallways had heavily stained carpets, further contributing to the overall poor impression of the property.Given the number and seriousness of these issues, the accommodation did not meet reasonable expectations for comfort, cleanliness, safety, or basic amenities.

    Great relocation, good pool! Rooms were big and beds were ok!!! It has the potential to be really good

    The air con didn't really work much in the room and with no fly screens on the window couldn't open the window so it was exceptionally hot the whole night. We barely slept l due to this. The hotel itself looks quite run down from the outside but did improve once we were in. The room had what looked to be mould above the door but the rest of it was clean.

    Close to shops and beach.

    Need to good renovations and good customer service. Door lock not working, air-conditioning not working, air-conditioning controller turn on TV, bed like a water bed. Needs to clean everyday. Door cart not working. Pool was very dirty. I ask to change my room but reception lady don't even talk and no one in reception you have to call them plus customer service is 0. Rubbish is every where outside. They need good management to run that motel.
