Check in was frustrating being down the road at another motel. Bathroom not cleaned and towels had stains and smelt terrible. Lamp had no bulb in it. Beds were very uncomfortable. Then there was a man in his car outside our room lying down in the dark as if to go to sleep. We called reception where someone did come to check on him and it turns out he is a resident in the main building who was waiting for someone to arrive at 11pm, very dodgy. This is when we decided to leave and go somewhere else as we felt unsafe from that point.

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.

There was something in the carpet that pricked my foot. The counters were all dsmaged, the light and the heater didnt go in the bathroom. Advertising 50 sky chsnnels, no sky remote. 19 channels which included the radio anf Plus 1 channels. Very sub standard.

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.

I would not stay at this accomodation again. It is very over priced. It took us over an hour to get the tv to work. There was something splashed on the walls upstairs. There were no towels. Curtains were coming off the rails. No staff onsite and you had to go to another accomodation down the road to get the keys.
