We would not stay here again. It was fairly clean in the room but the smell in it when we arrived was awful. After a long drive we wanted to relax for awhile but the smell combined with the uncomfortable bed to sit on meant we sprayed the room & left right away for a few hours despite it being so cold out. When we came back the smell was better in the room. The room had 1 mug, spoon and tiny pottle milk - there were 2 of us staying. The bed is one of the most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept on to the point where I got up with a sore back & had to take painkillers for the trip home. You could hear the springs in the bed popping with any movement & the pillows were also uncomfortable. Yes the room looks like the pics online but it's more run down in person, frayed carpet, old beds & I didn't even want to sit on the sofa. The desk chair was also broken. There is a heat pump but you can feel the cold coming through the ranch slider to the balcony. The bathroom was clean & there are lots of toiletries available which was nice. However the showerhead is very low & not adjustable so I had to duck quite a bit to use (I'm 6ft). The extractor fan was aggressively loud, you could hear it from the main room loudly & you couldn't turn it off - it came on with the light. Overall, would not recommend this place at all. Would never stay again & wish we could have gotten our money back to go somewhere else as soon as we had arrived.

Checked in. Went to our room and left again to book the motel next door. Will not accept a room with no bathroom facilities. My fault for assuming there would be some in the room. Will never stay there.

Dirty and zero service provided

We were staying over during V8 Supercars weekend for 4 nights. This place was very average at best. The rooms weren't very clean when we checked in and they were not serviced at all during our stay. We had to ask for replacement towels and extra toilet paper. The room we had had a King Sized bed and a sofa bed. When we asked to have the sofa bed made up, they just delivered sheets and a small duvet. They had unfolded the bed but had left it to us to make the bed. I certainly wouldn't look to stay here again and would not recommend it to others.

No response

We booked a stay here and had to cancel our trip due to an accident. I knew it was nonrefundable but sent them two emails asking if we could just rebook it. I never received any replies from them. I would have appreciated a response even it was “no”. When we rebook our trip we will not be staying here.
