What a shocker!

Really poor experience! Came in late and the room air con was setup - awesome start! However as I walked in the door I was showered by water from the air con.... Went to put my dinner in the fridge and it was broken, went to wash my hands and there was small droppings all over the bench, went to the toilet and there was dry ... (stuff) ... on the seat under the piece of paper that said it was cleaned! I put my book down on the bedside table and it stuck - to the greasy grime on top... Very very bad experience....

Entirely suitable, sensibly priced working man's motel. No frills, but doesn't break the bank either. Slept like a log both times I have stayed there.

value for money (in blackwater prices)

room was dated, and drainage didnt work properly. however when informed the staff got right on it and organized a plumber for that day. the room was large, beds were fairly comfortable. shower was warm and plenty of pressure. tv was a decent size. no bedside powerpoints however. and the light switch was hidden under the TV shelf.

Mauvais rapport qualité prix.

Nous sommes arrivés dans la soirée alors que la réception était fermée. Nos clefs avaient été déposées dans une boite aux lettres et avons donc pu facilement accéder à notre chambre. Blackwater étant situé dans une région minière, elle accueille beaucoup d'ouvriers/mineurs et est donc placée à proximité d'installations nécessaires à l'exploitation dont... des chemins de fer. Nous avons entendus des trains durant toute notre courte nuit. La chambre étant par contre relativement propre et bien équipée avec un grand frigo, une tv, une salle de bain avec toilette séparée. Nous avons le sentiment d'avoir payé plus que nécessaire pour cet établissement. Bien à vous
