We travel often, and this is probably the worst motel we have stayed. Although the bed itself seemed fairly new, we were not confident that the bedsheets had been changed. In most motels, the bedsheets are clean, ironed, and neatly laid out, but that was not the case here.

The bathroom was very old, and the bathroom door could not close properly. At night, we could hear other guests playing loud music, which made it difficult to sleep. The music started again early in the morning around 6 am.

Overall, we did not feel comfortable during our stay and did not have a good experience at this motel.

Beware they charge $50 deposit at check-in for your keys, and you have to be on top of your credit card. They failed to refund my deposit until I checked my card statements and rang them up. The place was under renovation so there's lots of noisy workmen doing renovations with power tools. Bathroom didn't have a door at all, and the table/bench they provided was dangerously insecure to support the TV as well as your bags. There are better places that are more competitive and professional than this place.

It's a pretty good price for what it is. My room needed hanging space, preferably a wardrobe. Small plates and mugs and spoons, but could've done with a cutting board, and a couple of dinner plates. Perhaps a table a chairs would make this room more comfortable. Airconditioning needs fixing as leaked onto bed. Extra toilet roll would be helpful. They charge a key deposit of $50.00, refundable upon return of key. This is not explained on website. Other than above, quite a comfortable bed and stay overall.

Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews on this property before booking as we wanted somewhere close to a function we were attending in the Surrey Hills area and this fit the bill for price and location. At reception a lady attended eventually who seemed unsure of the process, explaining her partner was otherwise occupied. The cost of $125 quickly changed to $175 when she advised I needed to pay a key deposit which I wasn't aware of before booking. She explained it would be refunded to my credit card when key was returned. The room itself was clean, we checked the bed and it was comfortable and clean. My partner wanted to shower and change before we left for the function and the light in the bathroom didn't work (no outside window) so had to leave the door open and we couldn't stop the shower dripping after, noisy enough to need to shut door so we could sleep later. We slept on and off with lots of noise and voices which seemed to be cleaners or workers loading trailers or utes with metal. When we finally woke at 6am we dressed hurriedly and left, dropping the key in the security box at the office. We didn't use the bathroom as there was no light and I had a general feeling of unsafe while there. Since then 27 October, the refund has not been paid. I have called 3 times since to be told by a male person that he needed the physical credit card so I emailed him my card details, then he hasn't had time to look at his emails. DO NOT STAY HERE

It should be your last resort

I stayed at one of the worst motels I've ever seen. The cleanliness was almost non-existent. Though towels and amenities were available, I hesitated to use them due to the poor condition of the room. The only reason I stayed there was because it was late and I had no other options available. I was tired and it was my last resort. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The place is disgusting, very poor condition. With people wandering around late at night and a lady that looked haggered and methed out it felt like I was at the motel in Breaking Bad where Jesse would meet Wendy. Was crazy noisy around and just generally felt unsafe. I didn’t believe my car wouldn’t get broken into so I just didn’t stay. The condition of the bed and fittings was terrible. How these people have the audacity to charge more than $30 per night astounds me

Business requires a 'key deposit' which isn't mentored anywhere until your at the counter.

Don’t go there

This has to be the worst place I have ever stayed. I can not believe a building in such poor state can still be allowed to run as an accommodation house. I booked online and obviously the pictures do not meet reality. Driving in the driveway should have been the point I turned around as it looked like something from a Mexican cartel scene but having driven 5 hours to get here I needed to rest before driving into the city for training so checked in. The outside of the building is interesting to say the least. There are 2 vending machines with dirty, used cans on show so you know what’s available in the machine. Inside the room (7) the toaster and kettle had the name of the motel written on them (in case you felt the urge to nick the $10 Kmart appliances). You only get bath towels to use, no hand towel, bath mat or face washer. The door to the bathroom was falling apart. The toilet and basin were both also showing bad signs of wear and tear. Don’t walk on the floor without shoes on, it was sticky and my things ended up covered in hair. The walls were thin and I believe the owner may have had family stay in the room next to mine who talked in their language til late in the night. Then there was the boy racer on his motorcycle that took off after running his bike for several minutes. You can hear him for several blocks when leaving and returning, again, late in the night. If you can get past this, the bed was comfortable. Enjoy your stay!

This motel has not transferred by deposit back yet after several phone calls, text msg and emails. Don’t know how these terrible places get hotel license. Would not recommend anyone to stay there.

Terribly disappointed in overall
- Stairway to back upstairs' Rooms a high Safety Trip Risk due to trims, measurements between steps and forward lean of steps. High risk of fall.
- Reverse cycle heater in room not working
- Unclean floor with bits and pieces found including old hardened chewing gum. Not vacuumed properly,
- Fridge froze all our stored food and drink overnight
- No sitting area with table and chairs, unusually a third bed added restricted any movement in the small room
- TV remote on/off button not working
- Credit Card registered with $50 at Check-in, Credited ok at Check-out, but amount at other stays is usually $1,
Overall, very disappointing, particularly the danger at the rear external stairs, where there is a high risk of fall and injury.
IT is rare that we review with any complaints but this was not a pleasant experience.

Strongly recommend to NOT stay here

The rooms of this hotel are atrocious. Upon first entry the floors were wet and room smelt of bleach and other obscene odours.
There were used cigarette butts on window frames and floor. Further cigarette burn marks on the bedding.
Tiles were broken and walls covered in mold throughout the bathroom.
The airconditioning did not work in the room.
Other tenants were under the influence of drugs or alchol and noisy in the complex carpark till 3am.

This a terrible experience that I wish to forget quickly.
Approach to the room was very bad and not lit.
Lights not working. Very dark
Shower curtain torn
Animals running about in the ceiling - frightening
Bathroom was untidy . No toilet roll
holder.

One fork and one knife provided.
TV didn't work
Looks very dodgy
When checking out I was told my payment had not gone through.
Will not go there again.

Overall,far below minimum standards.
Whole place is run down and should be removed from your listings.

We requested a refund after one night. The doors had graffiti on them, mouldy ceilings, leftover noodles in the electric jug. A dirty, run down motel that is mainly used as emergency housing. Certainly not the tidy advertised motel we booked.

Room was awful. I am not fussy as it was a last minute sleep only stay, but the walls, mirrors and other surfaces were covered in marks and gunk showing no deep cleaning is done. The smell from extended smoking in the room was overpowering. The front door appeared to be an internal door suggesting poor security and people were in the car park (permanents?) talking quite loudly for hours after midnight despite another guest asking them to keep it down. I don’t mind cheap rooms for a cheap fee, but this one was quite surprisingly bad.

I want a refund. Booked 2 nights and left in a couple of hours. prisoners are released here which was unknown to me. There is a contract to do this. I felt my car and my room and self were vulnerable. I nothing of these persons history including mental condition. They were accosting all who were there or arrived. This explains why no other cars in the carpark. Floors filthy.. I wiped with a damp tissue and it was black. Bathroom and toilet cieling covered in mould. Bedhead putrid, damged door with a most amaturish \"repair\" the list is endless. Should not be on this or any platform. Returned after a brief trip and was eyeballed from entering the property until I got into my room. These people were smoking all the time including outside my window and door and smoke coming in under the door. A Motel Disgrace.

This place is cheap and if you’re ok to stay with Prison release patrons , it’s ok . Not very encouraging for youth or young people who want to change and not use drugs etc.
served the purpose at the time because of price .

Unfit for human habitation. Filthy/Disgusting. Full of mould in room. Used tissues and condom packets on the floor along with intravenous drug use equipment left in room. Holes punched through the door. Power sockets hanging out of wall. We refused to stay and now property owner and WOTIF refusing to refund full amount. AVOID THIS RANCID HOLE AT ALL COSTS/HEALTH HAZARD SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.

I like the late night check in facility.
Last minute surprise that I did not like. My did book a family room last year November for January staying. Just the day before (23 January 20) someone from hotel called me and said somebody already booked the family room and they can only offer me two twin room instead. I was really surprised how a booking can be changed without notice and inform me the day before my staying. Finding no other alternatives I had to reluctantly agreed and stayed there.

This place was disgusting. It smelt, the rooms were old and run down, the property wasnt maintained, the bathroom was full of broken tiles, the room hasn't been cleaned properly in years. Stains on the carpet and on the couch. Table.in the room was wobbaly and unstable. Graffiti on the walls, in the cupboard and draws. If someone smoked outside they may as well.of been doing it in your room.

The place should be knocked down. They shouldnt be allowed to advertise on sites like this. The photos provided are a complete misrepresentation of the property.

I left at 1230am and slept in my car down the road
