Broken window frame meant window couldn’t be closed or locked. Locked door could be opened with next to no force. Bed base was broken so bed was like a banana. Tv was unusable even for free to air tv. Wifi drops out continuously. Room was overall extremely rundown, outdated and easily the worst place I’ve ever stayed

The room itself was really good for what we needed. Lots of room for kids. Unfortunately there was alot of things missing. No tea towel or scrubing brush to wash dishes. The bathroom towels were ripped and had lots of black marks on them. No hand towels, face cloths or bath mat.There was no plug in the bath. Rubbish not emptied and we stayed for 5 nights. Lightblubs missing. No reception, after driving 6 hours it would be nice to know we had to go somewhere else to get the key.

The motel was old - unit we asked to be moved to because of noisy position was quiet but had iron scorch marks on the carpet, mould around shower edges, no dining chairs, beds sloping inwards. Main annoyance was that the office was several properties away. Staff pleasant, however.

I made a mistake with my booking dates, and within hours tried to get it fixed. This motel chose to enforce their no refunds policy even though it was a genuine mistake notified very quickly, and there was no financial loss for them. I will never stay with them or any of their affiliate motels again.

Despite the reception being advertised as open until 9:30pm we had to go to another motel down the road to get our key. The mold in the bathroom was not pervasive but enough to trigger my wife's allergy. The wifi is useless. I couldn't connect at all at first as they had emailed me the wrong password. I couldn't connect to youtube so I measured the speed at 4.3Mb/s download and 0.48 upload. Glasses had lip marks. The bed was very uncomfortable. At 11:00pm there were only two other cars in the complex and no lights on so I wonder why we were given the worst room right beside a busy, noisy road.

Good location, the unit itself was alright but the furnishings (other than the beds) we so old, dated and mostly badly damaged. There was one 2 seater leather couch for 5 people and the seat of this was literally coming off and exposing the stuffing under it. No plug to wash the dishes nor dishcloth so we could wipe the benches/table and there was a very funky smell the whole time. Also turned up at the lodge and go to reception to find I then had to drive down the road to a different hotel to check in and get my key, would be great if this was advised prior to the check in date. The service from the man at the counter was subpar, the ladies were kind and lovely.
