DO NOT GO HERE. Looks and feels like a crack house. Dirty, stinks of cigarettes. Dirty linens out the front of the rooms. Rubbish and belongings in stairwells. Rubbish left in the sink in bathroom. Old, cracked blinds, broken beds. Stayed there long enough to find another hotel and get the heck out of there. Would not ever recommend, will tell everyone I can find to avoid. Looks absolutely nothing like the advertised pictures. Was not safe, not hygienic, never ever stay there. Should be shut down.

On arrival, the staff had no idea how to access or manage online bookings so didn't accept that I had paid or had a booking. Despite showing all evidence, emails and receipts, it took 20 minutes before they found the online reservation.I received no apology. The motel appears to be a halfway house for semi permanent residents who had junk everywhere and who were very loud and abusive at times. The room itself was old, needs serious renovation and repairs. The photos ARE NOT A TRUE REFLECTION OF THE ROOMS. Around the motel itself is junk, old furniture, rubbish and what appears to be some sort of 'business ' operating out of a bottom floor room. All very dodgy. We put the blanket provided in the rubbish pile as it was very old, ripped and stained. Great location but we won't be using this place again. It would appear that our international friends who are buying these types of business need to be better educated in both cleanliness and appropriate Hospitality practices as per Australian standards. And no...I didn't read the reviews on this property before I booked it, but boy did they make for great reading when I eventually did...was better than watching tv or listening to the dodgy neighbours downstairs fighting below our room (as promised in the previous reviews). If you are the owners of this motel and are reading this, for God's sake, make the changes suggested. Very poorly run operation.

Obviously people living there permanent with rubbish in the stairs and balcony. Drunkard noise, swearing and banging on our door until around 4.00am. Scary environment

Bloke at reception more interested in playing his game app than checking me in. Room absolutely reeked of cigarettes, really badly couldn't get it to go away. Bathroom was filthy. Only good thing was its cheap

the security chain on the door had been replaced with a piece of wire that appeared to be meant to put over the doorhandle the exterior door had signs of being forced the bathroom door had signs of being forced there was clear evidence of damage on almost every surface the flywire screen in the bathroom was more hole than screen the fridge was broken and rattled all night long the carpet was stained the exterior of the hotel was graffittied and vandalised I did not take the risk of parking in the motel car park and parked on the major road instead the was a syringe with blood in it outside the room

I would never stay here again. There were permanent live ins that were noisy and partied all night. One of them was obviously breeding puppies downstairs as there were puppies and dogs everywhere barking all night. The lady in the room next to us didn't look well.. she she appeared to be under the influence of drugs.
