Terrible 2 night stay. BookedPremier room 8 and got room 9. READ reviews as negative reviews hidden when scrolling.most positive reviews were up to 5 years ago. Room with old heavily soiled carpets, fraying mats, illfitting curtains so light all night, tv not extendable only view from bed not lounge, smoke alarm not working,only one small bedlight,water damaged wall near front door,no door insect protection. One waste bin for bathroom shared with larger room, no general notices, no "do not disturb" sign but still had no room service on second day, refrigerator iced over, only 2 facial tissues in box,out of date tourism brochures, no view other than driveway to street.BATHROOM dangerous with slippery tiles, unfinished repairs to walls, clogged vanity which was very tiny(not shown in ad). No face cloths, handtowelsor tea towels.Owner said people steal them so gave us 2 extra flimsy bathtowels,one toilet roll, rust everywhere,dirty mirror. Obviously photos did not display this bathroom. ENTRANCE to motel depressing as looked neglected, office entry needs proper step as step up is very high. Pool is very small, more like a plunge pool. Overall this motel is geared to casual overnighters who probably don't return or report shortcomings. My advice as a seasoned, frequent traveller is stay elsewhere. It was a burden to stay there for two nights.AGAIN keep scrolling the reviews for uptodate information,

Filthy carpet, a tiny vanity, a small shower, no bathmat, no teatowel, no laundry facility (as advertised and mentioned in the room compendium) ... just awful. How this got a 9.2 score is beyond me. Also noisy, only blockout curtains (also grotty) no sheers, so the light needed to be on ALL the time. Then there was an earwig (insect) in the bed. The little fridge desperately needed defrosting. There were several mats on the floor. I hate to think what was under them.

The room & bathroom were quite clean. The only comment I can make against the place is the design is a bit outdated & worn out.

It was clean, comfortable and sound proof. The staff were great.
