10/10 Exceptional

We had a 2 bedroom unit. It was very spacious and comfortable. Great for short or long stay.

Room was good, no complaints from me
Verified review

4/10 Fair

First of all the room was freezing and the little heater was not adequate. There was no heat whatsoever in the bathroom and cold air was coming in around the windows. The worst thing was that the curtain on the sliding door (main entrance to the room) would not close the whole way so there was an 18 inch gap for anybody walking by to look into our room. Not okay. The only good part was the shower had HOT water and the towels were surprisingly soft.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

The shower was over the spa bath. You couldnt use spa bath or as bath. The Bath itself leaked all water out side of bath through a hole someone had cut to allow it to drain and leaked through from wall over floor to drain. Hours later water still leaking out which meant puddles of water even in the night. After a shower the water was also spurting out of the hole like a small hose was spurting water. Tried to tell motel in morning but no one answered reception even though rang bell many times. Had to go to an appointment. When finished returned telling them we had checked out that morning and wanted the 2nd night refunded due to water issue and no one here in morning to tell. They offered another room. We declined as didnt want more issues to deal with. They are ignoring contact to refund which is not on when their accommodation is not up to standard. We stayed there in good faith. Considering new owners a few months back, this is not the way to start a new business for yourself. Also the wIndows and door so wet in morning, they were soaked. Never had this in a motel.
