Room was old, dark, no natural light, poorly ventilated, smelled damp. Heat pump did not work. The rattan fan on the wall above the bed is covered in dust. There was a microwave but no plates or cutlery to eat our food with. We had to buy paper plates and cutlery. I have travelled widely and have never posted a negative review but i will not recommend this motel to anyonr It was advertised as superior new rooms but ours was anything but. I booked this accommodation on 21st August and i feel i must have got the worst room.

There were no hosts attending the reception and everything done via email telling you how to access room. So although this is convenient for some it's lacking in real hospitality. Even had a blackout one evening for two and a half hours but couldn't contact anybody and we weren't even emailed to give a reason or explanation as to whether it was the whoke area or just our motel. The room was dusty all behind and at sides of bed, under the seating also. Bathroom had peeling paint/wallpaper and the sink area around taps were grimy I cleaned that myself. The furniture was old and had old water mark stains everywhere. So overall I wasn't very happy really. I know it was a budget motel but I would have expected better cleanliness and being able to actually speak to someone. I wouldn't recommend this motel.
