Upon arrive the place looked derelict. The lawns and gardens were overgrown and in need of mowing and weeding. Checkin consisted of a girl running out and telling us there was a key in the door. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom has been renovated. The furniture looked like it was leftover from the second hand shop. The TV remote didn't work and heating is only a small space heater. There is no houskeeping and the office is only open in the afternoon. It is more than 2 minutes to town.

Tidy unit, well equiped kitchen and great shower pressure. The most affordable stay I could find in Franz. Wifi was very weak at number 9 (too far from the modem is my guess) - needs a booster. Bed is super soft, so more suitable for tiny humans.

Clean property, good facilities although the TV remote didn’t work. Improved exterior since last visit would suggest wooden trellis divides for more privacy between units.

Huge room with kitchen and large bathroom. Very quite and peaceful. Comfy bed and fully equipped kitchen. The only downside is the wifi was very slow.

Sadly, communication with the hotel proved impossible. I was “stranded” down in the town area with the hotel a half hour walk up a steep hill with heavy luggage. Numerous phone call ignored. Eventually managed to get a lift to the hotel. When there, staff were kind and attentive. Accommodation better than average. Next morning I needed a lift into town to catch the bus. No one showed up at Reception at office opening time, not responded to my phone calls. I had to hitch a ride down in to town. Very, very poor communication skills.

The managers are friendly. It’s a no frills accommodation and has everything you need. Bathroom has been refurbished and everything was clean. Kitchenette had everything you needed to cook simple meals. Had a small heater which did the job. Thank you

Bit disappointed - only heating was in bathroom and no electric blanket , so bit chilly at night TV reception was so poor couldn't watch anything for longer than five minutes before it snowed out. Internet very intermittent - and as i had to work some of the time , made things very difficult. All furnishings pretty tired.

This motel is on the run-down side. The wifi was not secure but that didn't matter because it didn't work. It was fine for one night but that's about it.

I'm not fond of being unkind to struggling a business, & this one is struggling, we were 1 of only 2 units occupied that night. Smelled a bit, the blurb in the room claimed it was their brand of sanitizer & suggested keeping windows open to lessen the odour! A bit out of town, kettle didn't work so used the microwave, toaster didn't work either! Chinese lady at reception was pleasant, but spoke no english, so very hard to recommend the welcome albeit cordial. Hard to recommend anything really, sorry.

The check-in process was hard as there was no english-speaking person at the frontdesk. There was no heat in the room and we were charged for a room heater on top of the room payment. We were not told about this beforehand. The room had lots of bugs.

It was very disappointing. First, the owners/managers did not speak any English and it was impossible to communicate. Next, the room was very dirty even though it said it was disinfected. It could not have been if we had to wipe all the surfaces and the wipes we used collected so much dirt. The hair dryer had about 2mm of dirt all over it. The tea towels stunk so badly we had to hide them in a cupboard. The dishwashing liquid and body wash were so diluted with water that they just did not soap up to wash anything. And the pillows were as hard as a rock. We are not fussy travellers but we will not be staying here again, and I don’t know how on earth it received a 4.3 star rating from guests.
