Room was suitable. Good facilities to be self sufficient. Has a fan and no air conditioner. We booked because it had a pool. It closed at 5pm and we could not use it. It was also supposed to be open at 9am but it was not open when we left at 10am.

There are alot of hanging cobwebs from the Bedroom ceiling. One of the windows in the bedroom won't close. The curtain netting has mold on it. Wall plug outlet in bedroom is faulty and dose not work. Wall plug outlet switch has almost popped out so we didn't dare use the TV. Over all.... A very unsafe room for a family with little kids.

This property is nothing like the photos, it was filthy beyond words. The grounds un kept, we had chicken bones outside our door, beer bottles out front, the place did not look like it had been cleaned in a long time. The pool was covered and appeared like it had not been used for quite some time. Spa was the same with cloudy water.

All skirtings thick with dust and dirt.

Nice place to stay. However, with us being there for most of the week, there was no check in at reception, we waited for an hour and half for check in. The cleaning staff did not check our rooms to see if we needed fresh towels or rubbish cleared or tea/coffee topped up. Apart from that, it was a nice place to stay

This was the worst motel we have ever seen. We actually didn't stay and had to quickly book another motel which was hard last minute. The place was filthy, and the room which hadn't been cleaned was not habitable, the receptionist didn't speak any English so had someone on a speaker phone trying to organise all the arrivals. We don't think this this motel should be allowed to operate.
