The bathroom towel was stained with black marks and almost threadbare. No permanent on-site manager and numerous housing assisted people occupying some of the units.

AWFUL!!
It was terrible - we were not told that the motel was also used as emergency accommodation for homeless people we put into a section of the motel that had all homeless or displaced people living there. It was dirty, rubbish everywhere around the complex, people throwing rubbish out of their doors - our room looked like it had 'stab' marks onthe wall, flies and just down right horrible. We left after two hours and went to stay at another motel.

Don't stay here!
Disgusting This motel is used as emergency housing which should be stated on the hotels.com website. It was run-down, tobacco smell, no kettle, no soap, couldn't turn on tv, front door was hard to lock, toilet paper holder was broken etc etc. The worst thing though was the domestics during the night (very scary), cars coming in and out all night and loud music all night long. Not much sleep. Luckily we were only there for less than 24 hours and left as soon as we would in the morning. And it wasn't cheap, we paid $217 for the night for 3 of us.

Walked into the room not like the photos online. Dark room. Room wasn't that clean. Black hair all over the place, not pulling Furniture out and cleaning behind it. Broken window handles so you couldn't close them properly. Not really worth the price i pid to stay.

This motel has gone downhill over the years, we always used to stay and was looking forward to it. Arrived to a room that as soon as you opened the door was hit by the cigarette smoke smell, went out and purchased air fresheners which didn’t help, bedding smelt Smokey. The toilet smelt like an ashtray! stains on the walls and furniture, holes in the wall. Mould on the ceiling in the bedroom as well as the curtains. The most concerning was the wires hanging over the spa pool area! Extremely disappointed. Permanent residents living in the other rooms, which made as us think our room was vacated for the weekend as we had only a spare key with no motel tag? Could only do the one night but did not get a lot of sleep due to smell and the worry of where was the actual room key and were they coming back?

Problems check in, said I hadn't paid, had to go to bank to get proof & still they weren't happy. Lots of things need fixing in 4 rooms we had, iron in only 1 room, lots of rubbish outside needs clean up, cleaners not understand english to get replacement linen for 2 night stay, unmanned reception at crucial check in times. Never go there again, never recommend

rain water leaking into room which resulted in a large wet patch on carpet. Stains on some of the towels. Bad customer service,not willing to communicate when I inquired about stuff. Microwave not cleaned. Some of the lights were not working. Overall it was not worth the ratings of 3.9. Wouldn't come again.

We arrived at our family unit to find a dishwasher full of dirty smelly dishes left from the previous occupant. The rooms had not been cleaned as I picked up pieces of paper, hair tie, biscuit wrappers all easily visible. The covers on the light bulbs are full of cobwebs & moths obviously never removed & washed. Light switch at top of stairs hanging off wall so wires are exposed. Next morning discovered that the electric blanket was on on the spare bed in my room, obviously not turned off since previous guest- a fire hazard. I certainly would never recommend this property.

We booked a family apartment. Was overpriced for what it is, only booked here as missed out on nicer, cheaper option. Room was two stories and stairs were really noisy with kids in bed. Beds upstairs and toilet downstairs and was hard to try and not make noise. Was broken glass in driveway by reception, told lady in reception and gave me impression she didn't care, which was proven by the fact that it was still there for the next 3 days of our stay. Overall accommodation is ok but not worth what we paid, booked as out of options.

The spa unit was not cleaned properly. Ranchsliders filthy and cigarette butts all over path outside. Couldnt turn on bathroom light as fan attached to switch was broken. Plug missing for spa Had to ring for a replacement pkug and spa doesnt even work properly. For the amount they charge its not worth it. Some serious training for cleaning staff is needed. Not 4 star at all.
