Just horrible place! Fair enough it is being demolished soon but if they place is going to just be run into the ground, then at least lower the cost of a room. I wouldn’t want to pay anymore than $50 for a nights stay there.

An absolute dump which should be demolished asap!

The accommodation was the most appalling accommodation we have ever had the misfortune to stay in. The doors on the cabinets and cupboards were hanging off the hinges, there were no glasses and only one small cup in the room, no tissues and broken tiles falling off the walls. Underneath the kitchen sink blankets and pillows (without pillow cases )were shoved where dishwashing detergent and a sponge or Chun would normally be found. Even the skirting boards had fallen off the walls. There was one bedside table which was metal and the top lifted off along with uneven legs which made it useless. There were no bedside lamps and only one of the 2 wall lights had a globe that worked. Apart from the light in the bathroom the only light in the unit was the one wall light. The outside and entrance were shabby and unkempt. Weeds were everywhere and the so called garden neglected making the overall impression disgraceful. The swimming pool was empty. The TV screen was very small. There was no compendium so we had no idea of any instructions or availability of services. We have owned and run accredited 5 star accommodation. This property has a zero minus rating from us and we hope others heed our advice to steer well and truly clear of Twin Pines Motel Mooloolaba

A great location, clean but simple room. The advertised pool looks like it has been out of action for many moons (empty and chained off). Weirdly the rear windows look straight into someone’s garage/outdoor living area? Also, on site advertising stated Foxtel but sadly wasn’t connected. Functions well for a one night stay.

Phone disconnected and no reply to emails. Is motel closed? Wotif tells me they have to honor twin pines cancellation policy which means they can charge us for room even though we never stayed there because we couldnt contact motel. Wotif, pick up your game. Horrible lack of common sense. Why is property even listed on wotif? They should do some due diligence

Booked online, so no sight till we got there. For $130 plus we expected something clean tidy professional and comfortable. Unit looked OK from front. Booking 'office' was filthy and untidy - first hint!!! Room looked adequate on entry. Single bed was broken and not straight - kept sliding off while sitting on it. In an attempt to turn the mattress to over or around to try to adjust it, I stripped the bed. The sheets were certainly not professionally washed/ironed - but were soft and very wrinkled. The under'blanket' was very thin and just lying on the mattress - the non-showing side of the underblanket was STAINED. The mattress was old and ALSO stained. I did not sleep in it. My husband's bed was pretty-much the same, but we had already paid for the room, so decided to sleep in the one double bed. There was no milk provided. The 'hostess' was untidy and unkempt and chewing food on the occasions we saw her. On asking we were given a plastic bottle with some milk in it - no top or covering to the container! No spare toilet roll provided and just enough for our overnight stay. The basin tap sprayed water everywhere - needs something fixed or fitted. NEVER AGAIN will I accept a nice photograph as a true representative of the room. VERDICT?? Disappointed and disgusted.

Cheap accomodation

Room was super old and not well maintained. We were told at check in they dont book rooms but "people " and just make up on the day where you stay. The bath mat was wet and dirty and the replacement one not much better. The road out the front was used as the local drag strip so was loud with cars doing burn outs half the night. The photos displayed were obviously taken years ago. Good location but poor accommodation.

Don't stay here.

This motel was the dirtiest motel we've ever stayed in. There was a glass in the fridge with lipstick on it, there is no daily cleansing or service. The fridge and floors were dirty. When we used bathmat the it ended up brown from the dirt on the bathroom floor. The 1st time I've never taken shampoo and conditioner. None in the room. No tissues either. There seems to be a group of long term guests thst do the laundry and maintenance around the place. Half way house style. Yes I spoke with these people. The phone in the office is filthy, if you need to contact someone, you have to pick it up and it had sticky tape etc over it. The back if tv remote control was broken and sticky taped. All very unhygenic, especially in a time if a Pandemic. We would never stay here again. Although the price is cheap, there is absolutely no excuse for such a dirty place. I was also speaking to another guest who was staying the weekend. Her daughter said she couldn't wait to leave to get away from the dirty room. They had booked a 2 bedroom place only to be told it had been given away. 0/10 for us. Thank God I went out and bought antiseptic wipes.
