Room was filthy with stained carpet, Musty smell. Filthy under beds and sofa. I was shown another room, but that room was not suitable for myself, wife and daughter to reside in for four days. I was then shown another room which barely made the bar, because the staff member who was assisting me was very hospitable i took that room. So I compliment staff member Sam for his hospitality.

Basic low cost accomodation which was fine for 3 guys to put their heads down overnight for a few hours sleep on a road trip Sth - prior to catching the Cook Straight Ferry which is an easy 15 minute off peak run down the motorway. Night manager was great - wait to dial zero after the closed / office hours advice.

The place is clean and very good value for your money. The location is also excellent since it is very close to the mall. Reception is unattended most of the time but it wasn't a major issue for us. Checkin and checkout is a breeze. The staff/cleaner was very helpful as well.

Tidy comfortable but tired accommodation- price reflective so that’s ok. Staff was nice to Deal with and if I had some constructive criticism it would be please fix the front door lock and keep the shower curtain updated at all times, no one wants to shower with pink/red/black mould on it shower curtain. A cheap fix by replacing it would make a difference. Overall pleasant experience

stayed in studio room was a bit outdated visible mold on walls and around window joinery windows hard to close and open probably just old, visible patch jobs on wallpaper to keep it sticking to wall, shower head was cracked so water sprayed out onto toilet as well as body, shower curtain also a bit moldy and did not cover shower area well enough so bathroom was pretty soaked after a shower. Room also never serviced for new towels or taking rubbish away. TV and Wi-Fi also very slow and buffered, check in and check out were easy. Price was pretty good for area and what you get.

No one in reception - had to phone to get the key and wait while they located someone to deliver it. Booked for two people and there was only one towel - the staff member looked surprised when we asked for a second one. Looked for a power point to plug in the bedside lamp but there was none (did find a dirty sock from a previous occupant). The bed was comfortable but staff service was non existent.

We have stayed at this PPTY for over 20 yrs. Always enjoyed it, but it is getting very tired. Just needs a bit of tidying. Curtains are reasonably new but not hung properly. Not enough crockery or towels for the amount of occupants in room. However, l would stay again as the rooms are spacious and the price is rght.

Dishes etc not washed properly, no suitcase table, to dutiesboil the water jug you have to turn off the heater, as every appliance plugs into one multi box. No kitchen sink to wash dishes along dedicated area for making hot drink or any other kitchen duties.
