The room had been poorly cleaned. The table had a white plastic doily tablecloth that was very mouldy. The duvet had tears. The vanity joinery was swelling and paint peeling and the tiles had fallen off the skirting in areas. The bathroom had hair on the floor and lots of dead bugs stuck all over the ceiling. It wasn't very pleasant.

Parking was a bit far away from the unit, especially for my husband who has mobility issues. Also there were broken bottles on the driveway so concerned about security of car.

Not a bad motel but very dated and tired. Whoever thought that smooth glassed tiles on the bathroom floor was a good idea had rocks in their head, once wet they are an ice rink. The experience was let down by the poor house keeping with most of the cutlery missing, one wine glass and one sherry glass both dirty and antes on the bench.

Disappointed in poorly ventilated room.

Whilst the units were in a quiet garden setting, the unit we stayed in was not good. We had 3 adults sleeping in one room, including a shabby, tiny kitchenette. To watch TV we had to sit on the beds. After sleeping the night the walls, etc were covered in condensation - no fan or heatpump to use. The bathroom had a wetfloor shower which caused the whole room to be drenched in water everywhere. There were no towel rails, no fan or ventilation apart from a tiny window. No shelves or working area. It wasn't nice. Overall we were totally disappointed in our stay. The only plus was it was clean.

Have been before - look it isn't 5 star but it was decent and great location-wise. Wow, did it go down in quality - so much so I will never go back. Walked into room - the smell was horrible, a damp smell near bathroom (maybe due to lack of any barrier from open shower to the carpet in hallway), and a strong smell of urine. Found it from a pillow on the bed which seeped through layers of bedding, as well as in the living room near couch. It was so noticeable there is no way someone cleaning would not have realized. Also, must be a wasp nest close cause wasp after wasp flew in. Wifi weak but manageable, overall state very 'sticky' - tables, kitchen - just overall grubby. Staff came to give another blanket when asked but also had to ask for more towels as they gave 4 when there was 5 of us. Was really happy to leave, which is an unfortunate thing to say about a short holiday at a place which was much better only a few years ago.

It was value for money. Nothing special, it almost seemed like going back 20 years in time with the old Feltonmix shower rose with green corrosion lumps, and a shower curtain. Liquid soap for the vanity and the shower. The couch was uncomfortable and looked like it might fall apart. I remember when 30\" was a big TV. That was in 1992. Having said that, it was fairly quiet, staff were very friendly and the food in the restaurant was excellent. If you are on a tight budget, this is fair value for money.

Like this property. The rooms are big and very comfortable. The only thing we were disappointed about was because it being Christmas Day on our first morning our room was not serviced and we had no dry towels or clean washcloths on our 2nd morning. We understand the holiday problem but fresh towels could have been left for us. Other than that all was good and would stay again.

Have stayed here before and thoroughly enjoyed it, hence my return with 4 family members. The rooms are soacious and the bed enormous and comfy, clean, if a little tired. Sadly due to very antisocial neighbours, leaving two dogs unattended in the room barking for several hours until late in the evening this has put me off future stays although this is not the propertys fault. It's a shame though but we did enjoy Snell's Beach and surrounding area

The room was spacious, however the bathroom could have had a vent as opening the bathroom window when showering at night attracted a lot of bugs. Rooms were warm and comfy beds.

The toilet seat was broken and wobbled when used.

The lighting in the room was of poor quality. I couldn't read inside.

The fridge had a very loud noisy click at odd times.

Just a few simple things that could be fixed without too much cost.

Otherwise it was fine.
