The property had everything I look for but ... I don't use plastic kettles & the cleaners use a product that leaves a mild smell in the unit, akin to a cheap perfume. I can't see why we need to fill our living spaces with the odour of artificial (chemical) scents - bottom line, they are toxic. What is wrong with fresh air ? Luckily it was mild and having windows open mitigated the use of such products.

It is generally clean, staff is friendly. The property is old, facilities is average. They don't have shampoo and shower gel, so just need to remember to bring them. surrounding not feel very secured, some random person just always stay outside, not fully fenced and exclusive to the guests stay.

The room is basic but served purpose for short overnight stay. The only seat needs a good clean or replaced, visible large stains & what looks like a cigarette burn mark.

I loved my stay.Staff was friendly and helpful. In our room the chair had been soiled and left a big stain. Couldnt be used.Found a earwig in the bed by the pillow. Then we found a baby cocroach running across the table. We were not put off by this.These things happen. Would still come back. Found it hard at night to find the entrance into the motel. Over grown shrubs or plants. But overall my stay was enjoyable. I will be back again Thanks

Christine

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Absolutely shocked with the property conditions. They should not be allowed to operate. The room we stayed in was in a very poor state of repair. The furnishings were substandard. Dining chairs dirty and stained. Everything old and outdated. Displayed no care in presentation. We don’t sleep in the bed as would have been grossly covered in bedbugs. Carpets old and stained. Minimal conveniences. I’m so mad at myself for booking in here. I used to live in Hastings and the Apple Inn was a top location why I booked it. I was sorely disappointed to see how it has deteriorated. They take in REC workers as well and mix them up with their public units. I noticed ripped curtains in some of the units as we departed this morning. Not my cup of tea I’m afraid. Disgusting
