Liked the location. Close to amenities, shops, dining options. Kids enjoyed the pool but room info said it closed at 8pm and staff closed it at 4pm. My son got very sniffly and sneezy in the room like it had dog hair in the room. He's allergic.

Room was good & great bed! Cleanliness could be improved a little ( bathroom tiles/grouting need a scrub & carpet & armchair could do with a shampoo & freshen up). Overall though, pretty good.

Absolutely do not recommend this place—save your money! For what you pay, you can find somewhere much better. It's vastly overpriced for what it offers. The kitchen had cockroaches, the bedsheets were stained, and there was rubbish left on the bedside table. I really wish I had read the reviews before booking. People were smoking in the pool area, and the entire courtyard smelled of cigarette smoke (and I’m a smoker, so that’s saying something). To top it off, a man was passed out by the pool with an ironing board next to him, using it as a table for snacks—he seemed like he might have been homeless. I’m beyond disappointed and will never stay here again.

The room was not overly clean, dirt and dust present on all surfaces, mould in grout in showers, the bed seems like it is on some strange angle and that it is quite old with no support left in it. The outdoor area was very dirty and full of cob webs, checking the outdoor chairs we removed multiple red back spider nests. Staff were very lovely, made our check in that occurred late easy without complication and stress, so a huge thank you for that. The establishment has the potential to be a lovely motel with some further attention to detail in cleaning and updating of beds would be a high recommendation. Again, thank you to the staff for helping me arrange our late check in with ease. Lauren & Brendan

I was in town, in Pokolbin, at 3:30pm, and the receptionist called and sent me extremely rude messages, threatening to cancel my reservation if I didn't arrive by 4 pm, as she had an appointment and couldn't wait for me. The description states that check-in is from 2 pm to 6 pm. I rushed and managed to arrive exactly at 4 pm, and she greeted me very rudely, saying she had declined my card. I showed her that the app indicated payment was to be made at the hotel. She claimed that was never the case, being very abrupt and rude. It was me, my girlfriend, and my elderly parents, who are 75 and 79 years old, and she was being rude and threatening to cancel the reservation, leaving us without a place to stay. Our room had a small and old TV, and the air conditioning didn’t work.
