The only thing that stood out for me was the accomodation was comfortable, clean, everything needed was available but (i am being very picky here) there were big weeds growing near the parking back area. These looked out of place because everything else was perfect.

Night two was warm as the AC worked on the second night plus WE spent $69 and purchased a WARM blanket . However on return late at night the wet towels left as per Eco friendly instructions on the floor to be changed were still there wet and cold. With management ( absent at all of our stay plus the Friday when we called on to discuss parking and Sunday when we left ) saying breach of privacy to enter rooms if client not there. The WiFi still did not work. It says connected but is so weak it's unusable ( maybe the dreaded Economy room option?). I am in Port regularly so used a contact to meet a tradie who confirmed " they often have AC issues , especially in the small block" How lucky then we were to be in the main block at least the lights worked.

Better the second night as we went down town and bought a decent blanket $59 to keep warm. The AC did work night 2. Towels were still on the bathroom floor ( as per instructions on Eco friendly) and not changed so a 10pm return to cold wet towels!!! The Management said due to privacy they do not enter rooms then went on to say they came on and checked out the AC- double standards for sure. Never saw any reception staff despite calling the day before staying 2 nights and leaving the third day. Wifi never worked while time said connected but so weak strength would allow event emails to open. As they say once bitten twice shy so we booked onto another motel where there are staff, things work and very happy. They also left a receipt for our room showing payment from a card not mine? Funny to see sloppy bookwork as firstly I prepaid as it was an extra $20 per night if you paid on arriving plus the fact they used someone's card not mine.

Good clean accommodation-downside had no idea how to check in as we were supposed have received an email with instructions but didn’t receive-nobody around and had to resort to knocking on someone’s door to see if they knew-as we had no access to an Australian phone the rang the emergency number for us
