The worst experience I ever had in staying in a hotel. Its old and things are falling apart. Broken draws, no cutlery in the room despite coffee and sugar provided. I was left wondering how would I make coffee or tea. Toilet seat was broken and also the door could not close properly. No parking was available on the site as mostly was occupied by non guests who were attending a function at the hotel.

This is an inexpensive motel, but I would rather pay a bit more or find another option. Tired and dirty. The sheets were clean but had holes in them, suggestiing they were past their use by date. We were glad to be there only 1 night.

Very poor run down facility.
When checking in there was no one around (and this was only at about 6pm). Had to walk around to find someone. The rooms were worn down, they smelt of cigarette smoke. Initially we were put into the wrong room. Very poor and run down accomodation. Only positive was hot water in the shower and Wifi.

So on the advertisement when booking it stated there was pool facilities and hot mineral spa which when we arrived were closed due to covid, but there was no notes or pre-warbibgs of this about the closure also our room wasn’t vaccumed and the buffett breakfast was a packed little breakfast. The bathroom smelt of old urination, had a cracked top and the shower had wear and tear damages which was not displayed in the photos when booking. which i believe is false advertisement!

On arrival the property looked worst for wear and tired. Check-in was not very welcoming or informative. Room was as per pictures but heater and TV were not working. Transferred to another room then the fridge wasn't working, this was later replaced. Not a good rest from the party going on next door... And the Cody cans left on my deck.

Dirt on the carpet area at top of the stairs that went intouched for three days. A lot of people renting there so was a bit of noise. No cuttlery however, i was told that this was due to covid 19? Dealing with the managers was easy and they were accommodating.
