Our one night stay was excellent. Our studio unit was spotlessly clean for an older property. Kudos to the Cleaner, keep it up! I am the “Clean Police” and I was thoroughly impressed. I also loved that on entering our unit, it was toasty warm on a very cold Palmy evening; our heater had been turned on for our arrival. Nice! Yes, we would stay again. Location is fab.

When I rang them if we can check in early, they advised me that our booking was cancelled, without me knowing.The app still say booking confirmed and no emails or phone called received regarding the cancellation. I have 2 teenagers competing at PACANZ and all motels were full. I have to ring everyone I know if they know someone who lives at Palmy if we can sleep at their place for 2 nights and lucky we did otherwise we will be on the streets. If there was no competition it would of been easy to find a place to stay but that night was one of my scariest night, finding a place to stay for the nx 2 days. I was in a lot of stressed. According to the hotel we stayed for the first night it’s motel/hotel policy to find you a place if they cancelled on you.

Noisy tennants

There appears to be a family staying here permanently. My first time staying here I was on the other block to them but could see they were up and down the steps all night and very active. Last night I was roomed right next to them. Activity carried on till 2.30 am which for a working contractor was a disaster for me. I can understand the attraction from motel management to have long term tenants but affecting other guests in this way will stop me from returning.

A good stay at a reasonable price. The beds were very comfortable.

Room could have been cleaned better - glass table beside bed had ring marks on it. Some light bulbs did not work. Lights beside bed had to be plugged in low down behind bed or behind couch - very difficult to do - I gave up trying to reach with arthritic fingers. I was in unit 9 which meant I had to climb stairs and then pass two other rooms to get there. Outside those rooms were chairs and tables that left too little room to get past with a suitcase. Very budget motel but with more than budget price.

Disappointing

This was a mystery hotel and I was very disappointed with the experience. The comforter and blanket on the bed were both old, stained and one even had some sort of dried crusty food on it. Light fixtures were missing and one of the bulbs emitted a burning smell as its coating melted. Poorly sound proofed and insulated it was a loud, cold stay. Amenities such as coffee and shampoo were not replaced. Although the staff were very friendly it did not make up for the lack of cleanliness.

Nice staff, old rooms that need maintenance

We had to book a hotel last minute due to a death in the family. First night in the hotel the sink in the bathroom didn't work, most of the light globes were blown so very poor lighting, the ironing board cover was falling apart and the iron was stored with water in it so when we used it flecks came out of the iron into my clothing I needed to wear for the funeral. We tried to move rooms that night but no answer at reception.
The next day we were moved to a new room where there were a number of globes also not working so they had to replace them before we moved in. Was also mold around the rim of the shower in the second room, the sliding door was hard to close, and the window next to the single bed didnt fully close which made for a cold night for these Aussies not used to Palmy weather.
Staff were very friendly and apologetic and did replace bulbs in the second room, but it seems that general maintenance at this hotel is not adequate.

1. 2 bathroom windows had no latches they seemed to have been 'sawn' off so u couldn't close the windows. they rattled on and off during the night. i closed the door. it was good it wasn't windy or it would have been terrible to stay asleep.
2. the fluffy blanket 'felt' like it should have been washed.
3. the bedspread on 'stains' on it. i pulled them off the bed and put a towel on top of it so i didnt sit on it.
4. the fridge was lovely and cold... it froze the milk.
5. the shower water pooled so i didn't have a long shower.
6. the towel handle come out of the wall and fell onto the floor when i put the towel over it.
7.the office was very homely and could do with a 'spruce up'.
I gave this list to the man who was at the desk the morning i left. he was veryy apoletic about the state of the room. the other male who was there when i checked in was a different person. both we very nice, cheerful and helpful.
I don't believe they were the managers or the owners.
If u are looking for a reasonable cheap and not so strict on the overall cleaniness and upkeep of the room and maybe only there for the night then by all means stay here.
I won't be going back for those reasons. 1-7. again i want to reiterate the friendliness of the staff.

No frills accommodation.

It's an adequate stay when looking for something cheap, but the level of service sometimes reflects the price. The room wasn't very clean upon arrival (rubbish on floor around fridge, dodgy looking stain on outside of toilet bowl), and facilities were very basic (soap dispenser in bathroom was empty, only one teaspoon in cutlery drawer). Cleaners don't seem overly thorough, we sometimes had to go to reception ourselves for replacement linen as this wasn't being done by the team. The operators are friendly, however, and for the price it isn't too bad a place to stay. I'd only recommend this place for the price - it seems one of the cheapest places in Palmy.
