Customers smoking outside was annoying as the smoke came in windows. Needs smokers to be away from rooms.

4/10 Fair

Shower was similar to an outdoor leaking tap, no pressure at all, almost non functional at times. The shower cubicle itself in terrible state, broken tap covers, floor just left to decay. Air conditioner loud and full of dust. Very little amount of car parking, during week days you may find yourself having to park blocks away from motel. The bed was the only non-negative aspect of the room.

2/10 Poor

The room i was allocated appeared to be in utter disrepair, The sink was crusty and rusting out of the wall. There was a Large Hole in the wall! Missing patches of floorboard, Power outlet looked very concerning with paint flaking around exterior. Also the room/Carpet smelled strongly of urine. Was planning o having a coworker join me at this establishment in the next few days; However have cancelled their reservation and booked elsewhere.
