The room was very very dirty floors in. Bed room had trash Under the bed from previous guests. Baht room had mould all over the floor the shower curtain had mould And dirt all over it The room was very unsafe as the door to the balcony was broken and could not be locked at all The fridge had leftover food from a previous guest There were cockroaches running around the room I have never seen a property so dirty I my life before The ceiling fans blades were black with build up dust. I understand some motels are aging but this was just Disgraceful filthy dirty As a result I will never book another hotel or motel accommodation with wotif ever again In my opinion you have a responsibility to make sure the accommodation you are hiring out is safe and clean I did not sleep at all last night as I felt very unsafe and Wasn’t going to sleep in the bed as the bed sheets possibly had not been changed as well. I photographed all of the dirt and mould an cockroach how can I send you the pictures I am Not looking for a refund at all I just want to forget the whole experience

The place was very dirty and the floors were not clean. The rooms on the lower level felt unsafe as the curtain was held up by sticky tape. This was not enough to block the public from seeing inside the room as there was no fence around.

DO NOT STAY HERE! After checking in at 7pm from a day of travel our group was looking forward to a shower before going to get some dinner. We then found that there was no soap in the room for us to use, just a few traveller size shampoos. We contacted staff and were told that there was not a single person they could get to deliver soap to our room until 9am the following morning, which didn't work for us as we had an international flight to catch early the next day. To add to this we found that the room hadn't been cleaned properly with children's toys left under the coffee table along with 12 months of dust. We found that the Kitchenette drawers were broken and came off the runners only to help hide the cockroaches in there. For the lucky few that had received soap prior to us, there was a space above the shower in between the tiles and the wall which had used soaps and empty shampoo bottles littered in it. I wish I could say that my bed was comfy but it along with the lumpy pillows were a let down too. I feel absolutely robbed of the money I spent to stay here. It is the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in even to the point that a backpackers or campsite would have been a better option for my family. Overall it was a terrible experience, do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else.

3 1/2 stars is abour 3 too many. 1. I had to hold up the shower spout with 1 hand while showering. 2. The only cutlery in the unit was a solo knife. 3. While locating our grotty unit we were greeted by drunken guests yahooing in the algae infested pool. 4. The drunken yahoos decided that around 2am would be a great time for a loud party outside our room. 5. Reception was unattended so no chance to purchase laundry powder. 6. As I walked through this unit the tiles made sticking sounds onto the bottom of my shoes. 7. Rubbish under beds and behind doors.

If you’re after cheap accommodation this is certainly it. Lumpy awful bed & pillows, sticky floor, thin curtains that lets the sun stream in, you can hear the water pipes of other apartments, dirty creepy stairwells - There was dirt and clumps of hair the whole time we were there so no cleaning happening. Reception staff weren’t friendly. You have to use the side entrance after the reception closes at 5pm. The little pool is ok. The cleaners are not friendly either and they push their spare towels etc around in Woolworths trolleys. The toilet is in an uncomfortable position jammed between the wall, shower & basin with the shower curtain sitting on your knees and you can’t move it as it’s locked in place. The parking was very tight but grateful it wasn’t on the road. Room smelt like cigarettes when we first arrived. Loud traffic noises as on main road, no power points near bed, whole tap on the bathroom sink is loose, bathroom light flickering like a disco. I could go on.

No working A/C, no working WiFI, no working free to air TV…. Mould in shower, tap broken, 1 20ml shampoo and conditioner for 4 ppl to share. No hand soap or shower gel. 1 coffee mug but no tea or coffee. Fan sounded like it was going to crash down from the ceiling. Whole place was dirty and loud. No flyscreen and what looked like blood on the curtains. Photos online clearly from 10 plus years ago. It made me feel dirty.
