Disappointed

We have been on holiday 3 weeks and have stayed in a couple of Bella Vista motels so we were disappointed with a few things. Could not pay at property. Paid over the phone, no choice to use EFT-POS and charged $5 to pay on credit card. Room was very small-had to put bags in bathroom. Needs some Exit Mould on silicone seals in shower. Charges $30 per hour for early or late check in. No cooking facilities- this is a motel not a hotel.

Centre of town to restaurants,coffee shops, and to a few long walks to the old town and hilltops with great views. The property had most requirements for me, except the news channels on TV, as in bbc world news and the fox and cnn channels, and free movie channels.
