I like the location close to the city, which is easy to go around,
In front of the unit, it's not clean, and the bathroom dont have exhaust. And noisy early morning around 03:00 am next door playing music. I looking cheap accommodation its ok. Old placed.

Shower was hot
I arrived after their open hours (even though there was no mention of this on the booking page) & was told that there was no booking for me, even though I could show there was a booking confirmation. I was then told it didn’t matter because there was no rooms. They then claimed it was an issue with Booking.com, however they responded to my request for a lower level room, so they received the booking & upfront payment and just sold my room to someone else. I was then set up in a room that the lights didn’t work in. This wasn’t fixed during my stay and I wasn’t moved to an alternative room, I was provided with 2 lamps instead. Very disappointed with the service provided.

Management were very good communicators, understood our needs and responded patiently and accordingly. Location was not noisy (we had a ground floor room). The room and ensuite were spacious with air con and fan, very useful. The Chinese restaurant on the premises was convenient and quite good.
We found the mattress a bit too soft.

Pool was not open as season did not permit and neve used. Room and clean is good for the payment made.
The location is bit far from the Motel and sometime to get a taxi is hassle.

The U-shaped layout of the apartments was amazing. The pool was beautiful and very clearly well looked after. The manager was lovely and did everything she could to make my stay as enjoyable as possible.
The lack of assigned parking made it tricky when packing my car to leave.

great location and the the owners were lovely also amazing Chinese restaurant attached to the place.
the place is very run down bins were always smelly and full and there wasn’t really a sufficient amount of bins at the property. the amenities in the room need fixing like tap handles and my bathroom door got stuck so I was stuck in the bathroom I needed someone to push on the door from the outside hard. when travelling with a large family i Think the rooms need fridges bigger than a bar fridge the bar fridge also didn’t work fantastic our toaster was broken and the tvs are all old and out dated. there also isn’t a lift or anything to access the top level so people who are disabled or hurt like my partner who had a broken foot had to use crutches up and down the stairs which was unsafe he almost fell down plenty of times. the washing machines are quite old and didn’t clean the clothes properly and you pay to use these ones I’ve never had to at a hotel before but if they were upgraded and worked better than it wouldn’t be an issue but there is also only 2 which isn’t enough for the amount of guests there. yes the price was cheap and the location was good but the place needs serious renovations done. it was also gross having people the next room down smoking outside the rooms we don’t smoke and it was yuck walking through it and having to smell it. someone also put our rubbish back outside our room which I didn’t find ok that’s creepy and rude.
2.5
The location was not that bad.
The place has great potential. I understand the new management has done a lot of work restoring the place. I would concentrate on getting the rooms sorted 1st then working on the grounds.
2 people have to share 1 knife. Nothing to cook with except a large pot. We put the please clean room sign out 3 days in a row and was ignored 3 days in a row. There were lots of little things which when combined became annoying. But that was it annoying and we didn't let it affect our holiday.
