I think it's a motel for transitioning the homeless, way overpriced and it was my first time in Australia and the owner felt he needed to tell me how much he dislikes Americans..but he had no problem taking my USD. His wife was extremely nice...I wouldn't stay again or refer.

Dear Elizabeth, we are sorry that you were not satisfied with your experience. I believe there's misunderstanding regarding "dislike" Americans. We meet guests from all over the world and we welcome everyone no matter where they come from. I do apologise if he ever made you upset in any case. But he's a very nice person who has a very soft heart. He just likes to talk to people... I'm glad that his wife was nice. Regarding "homeless", when people make bookings either over the phone or book online, we won't ask the guests if they are homeless or not, or where they come from. We treat every guest the same. They made the booking; they paid for their accommodation; they didn't make trouble, then they are good guests. We don't judge. They may be for work, study, holiday, family reason, insurance claim when their house is under repair or simply waiting for their rental place is ready to move in. And all the motels are the same. Regarding "overpriced", Australia is one of the countries where living cost is high. Along the coast is even higher. So the cost to keep the business running is also very high. We are actually one of the cheapest accommodation in Sunshine Coast while we still keep the place clean and comfortable. You made the booking online, I believe you compared the prices on the website. Again we are sorry that you were not happy for your stay. We still welcome you if you ever comes back. Regards
