An Emergency Shelter more than Motel

Shouldn't be on this website. It's a motel used for emergency accommodation, so a very transient and unomfortable feeling from occupants. The owners are never at the front desk. They make you call a mobile and wait ages. They have a permanent note on the office window saying "Due to a staff shortage emergency..." They act like they dont understand English, when clearly they do. It is clean, but thats its only redeeming feature.

Travellers: 3adults toddler. This place shouldn't be operating at all. The place was beautiful from the outside and got to enjoy the sunset from the balcony but we had so many ongoing issues. Felt like we were put in a dungeon. The appliances weren't working as the plug wasnt working so we had to get an extension chord and multi- plug to use another plug. The towels were damped and had brown wet stains on it so we asked the reception but she only gave one and saying "we only have one clean towel left, all our towels are dirty". The hot shower ran out after one person used it for 5mins. There were cobwebs on the ceiling and on the curtains. The curtains in the room we couldn't open up. The side table lamp wasnt working. The oven and stove was very filthy with dirt and left over old crumbs on it. The heater in the room was broken. We also had a couple of flees biting us around the motel. I cannot believe how filthy this place is. We were in Room 22 right in the corner back. The worst part was, the reception lady kept saying she will report it as she can't do much about it as shes covering for her friend whos been away for a month and wont be back until another month. We confronted her as we thought it was dodgy as we needed to speak to a manager or someone else the next day but she said no one works there except her friend whos overseas and shes not getting paid to help her friend look after the motel. This is very dodgy business. Overall we enjoyed our family company

Overall I liked the property and the area it was in. Close to the hutt river and a little park and other motels. Walking along the river was very healing. I liked the architecture. It seemed very 1980's and like a dutch style. The room was nice and cool and had good solid walls. The bathroom was great. A few things that would've made it better... the light bulb in one of the lamps was out. Flannels are pretty much a necessity to just wipe the day away from the face. Internet connection in and out but that may not be the fault of the motel. With x generation perseverance I just kept reconnecting and eventually we got to watch terminator 2 which was really cool. My thanks to the owners. I enjoyed my stay.

Nice apartment with amenities

Nice apartment. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, with some supply of condiments. Room had washer/dryer which is a plus. No receptionist & although I emailed my time of arrival as advised, there was no person who came to let us in. It was good someone helped us call the number provided. To call them myself would cost me much as I’m a out of the country tourist.

My family arrived and we had booked a 2 bedroom unit for the 4 members if my family. We were disgusted with how dirty the place was. Especially the kitchen, plates, cutlery etc and the window behind the stove is covered in grease. The plates and cutlery were filthy so we had to wash everything before we used it and as we booked for four members we would have expected enough cutlery for all of us but there was only 3 spoons and 3 forks! There were no basic items sullied such as tissues or face cloths and while we had been given four towels we had to only use them once as the shower seal was leaking and flooded the bathroom floor whenever any of us had a shower so we had to mop it all up with the towels. Then when we turned down the bed the bed cover had a great big stain on it. Overall we were disgusted with how dirty and unclean the place was and there was never anybody there in the office to even talk about this with. We would never recommend and will never go back.

There were no staff at the property for our whole 8 day stay. We stayed over the Christmas period & only had evidence of staff providing new towels on 2 days. Property location is ok if you have a car. Property is quite dated but reasonably clean. Bathroom & kitchen really need to be updated. A very average stay, ok as we were just sleeping there & out all day visiting family.

Arrived and stood around for 20 minutes waiting to get my room. I had prepaid online and the manager told me repeatedly that my payment declined. I showed them my receipt and bank record to prove the money had hone out. I was then told I had to email these to her manager to prove my payment had gone through. All in all, extremely unprofessional, it felt like I was being scammed. Property is dirty and noisy and extremely run down.

Om arrival we were greeted by a locked reception area with a note telling us to ring a number to retrieve our key from a lock box on entering the room it was tidy enough but there were hardly any utensils so I emailed the establishment asking for two forks and the wifi password as there was no instructions left about jow to connect to the "free" wifi it was suffice for wat we needed for our 3 day stay Bed(comfy) Shower(excellent!) I appreciated the fact they placed us in a ground level room but over our two night stay we had very loud people above us Also we were out of our room for a whole day from 11am but there was no cleaning done to our room they decided to come while we were in our room and asked did we need anything? I says yes clean towels pls and our rubbish needs removing So I guess for a cheap room it was suffice and basic

Website needs updating, stuff listed on there was not in the room eg. Iron and ironing board in every room and we had to ask for one. Noisy shower pipework. No handle on shower door. Mirrors all smeared and greasy, couldn't see in them clearly, as was the shower glass. For a five bed room there were only two eating bowls and four plates. Crockery and cutlery needed cleaning before using. Stove top rusted through. Fridge wobbly only had three feet. Noisy stairs. Needs more lounge seating, two person couch for a five bed room. Walls were filthy and need painting. Light shade over lounge area dusty as. Service poor, reception never maned, doorbell and phone outside reception don't work. Could smell cigarette smoke in our room from others smoking. Soap dispenser in bathroom didn't work or the ones in the shower. Can see where a washing machines been removed, all plumbing still visible. Wouldn't recommend this motor inn to anyone to stay at.
