I didn’t expect much for the money, but it was really not a nice place to stay at all. Very dirty, shower was filthy. Sheets were clean, but the thin crappy blanket on the beds were both stained and kept us cold all night. Next to the main bed was revolting. 1 bowl, 2 plates and 1 fork in the room. Yet had coffee sachets and milk to make a coffee….not sure how you meant to drink one though? I wouldn’t stay here again, and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It’s really a backpackers style accommodation but too pricey for that

Terrible and Dirty!

Terrible and Dirty everything without any exageration, mouldy bathroom & tiles, no Wi-Fi, I had to go to reception to replace the one dirty towel and ask for 2 towels as we were 2 people, no hand towels though, I had to ask for 2 replacement pillow covers as the existing ones were uninspiring. Everything was beyond dated. Dated and Dirty damaged walls. If you want to survive do not open the fridge door. I do not think that the flooring was cleaned in years. The entire place should be shut down by the authorities, as it is a public health hazard! Do not even stop, keep driving... The attached photos are of the second room, the first allocated one was far worse.

I wasnt expecting much, realising property was old and was ok with that, thinking as long as the room was clean. The room smelt like chain smokers had lived in for 10 years and left their butts in the pillows, under bed etc. Only 1 towel, no bathroom floor matt, not a single place to hang towel. Ended up checking out early as we couldn't stay in room.

I had no great expectations. It happened to be an exceptionally busy weekend, and most hotels were charging $1000 per night, so this one at $100 was definitely a bargain. The property was not impressive, being old and dilapidated. But the room was a surprise. Despite the rust and peeling paint, the room was very clean. The bed was super comfortable for my troubled back, the sheets were quality, and the one towel was large and thick. A bath mat would have helped, and given the many power points, a bedlamp would have been an easy attribute. For an old place, the AC was modern, and the shower fittings were clearly new and quality. I felt comfortable and safe, and I overlooked the scruffiness because of the money I was saving. I would choose this room again, because it was so clean

The staff where lovely and very accommodating. However the shower, bathroom and around the bathroom door had black mold, if you touched it, it rubbed part of it off so try not to touch the walls. The water pressure was terrible and the shower head was broken. The bed was like laying in a metal trolley, you could feel every spring and i thought we where getting a king bed but we had 2 king singles pushed together. The bedding and lining consisted of a bottom and top sheet, a blanket that was as thin as a sheet, 2 thin pillows and 1 towel for 2 people. I came home with bruised hips, shoulder's and bum from the bed.

Everything is unique about the porperty really. First is the building should be demolished, wondering how they are still allowed to operate without complying with the WH&S standards, safety and rules. The bed really smelled like it has never been covered with clean sheets, very old pillows, exposed electrical wirings, filthy dirty, and they are posting pictures that aren't really how they look. Dirty, really dirty, noisy. and the people in that place, oh the bathroom, hasn't been cleaned maybe since the building was built...........
The window that cannot be opned because there is no screen and the curtain that has never been washed

This was the most deplorable accommodations I have ever had. I’ve stayed at primitive campsites that were cleaner. Unsafe/uneven stairs. Roaches that crawled into our clothing overnight. Mold. Public areas covered in dirt, mold, and cigarettes. Eight parking spots for two buildings-worth of rooms. I understood that I would have subpar accommodations for the price, but this was worse than I imagined. This place should not even be licensed for operation.

Rude staff, uncomfortable beds, cockroaches

Staff were rude, didn’t even acknowledge us when we arrived. We had been in a cruise and disembarked early do i thought we would go early to drop off our luggage then find something else to do while waiting for our check in time. Then discovered our room was at the bottom of dangerously steep stairs. May not be a problem usually but we had excessive and heavy luggage. Then the beds were uncomfortable, the pillows flat and offer no support, thin blanket on the bed (in winter!) walls were dirty and there were cockroaches. I’m adding a photo of the one on the fridge, but there were more. My sister found 6 when she moved the kettle. I wouldn’t stay here again. Also, there’s not much in the area in terms of food and shopping.

Awful!! Booked 3 nights, only stayed 1. Office never open to talk to anyone. Had to park in basically an alley. Dirty, tiny, cold water. Very loud with other guests screaming profanities at each other most of the night - well past 3:00am. Horrible experience! I guess you get what you pay for.
