I would recommend this to all

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The photos do not match the rooms.
The room was filthy and the bathroom had mould everywhere.
There were stains all over the couch and water stains all over the bench tops. The fan in the bathroom was noisy and there was not new toilet paper provided. The toilet brush was filthy.
The walls had marks all over them and the carpet was ripped up on the edges.
Without doubt, a horrible experience.

The staff was ok but the room was bad.
The tap in the kitchen was too short and this meant that water ran onto the bench and the floor every time I washed anything.
The couch and cushions were stained. The tv was very basic with no internet and streaming channels.
The toilet had poop on the walls and the shower had mould on the seal at the bottom.

The reception was very helpful and very nice, I made an error in booking and he was patient and helpful. I was able to still get a room and he organised a roll out bed. The apartment complex is older, has enough parking & an Indian restaurant on site. The room itself needs a revamp, many patches in walls and doors , older appliances, bed hard and basic equipment in the kitchen. The bathroom is fine with a large shower. Was in a good area for us with shopping close and many restaurants around.

There was a plate in the oven with some white “substance” on it. The accomodation felt unsafe. It doesn’t look like the photos. Won’t be returning.

We found check-in tedious and the staff member inefficient. He had to search for our key in a messy cluttered drawer. Reception area super messy and not professional or inviting.
The room was spacious and clean but there was a large crack in the glass of the wardrobe door and the towel rail was hanging loose. Shower pressure and heat of water was amazing. We booked for 2 persons but obviously only one of us was meant to wash our hair as only 1 each tiny shampoo and conditioner was supplied. No biscuits as are usually supplied complimentary in even the most economy motel.Spare blanket was old and worn. Good supply of kitchen cleaning supplies left.
The whole room while clean and spacious was tired and dated with a few recent additions like a new toilet and sink but the general feel was tired.

Property entry was not well signed and we missed the turn off. Front desk was unattended when we arrived at about 3pm so we had to wait outside in the cold. Room was not very clean. Bathroom exhaust fan was dirty and noisy. On site restaurant and bar; bar had two foreign beers on tap but the taps weren’t working so we purchased two beers from the fridge, they were not cold, needless to say we didn’t purchase any more and left the bar. Security bond has not yet been returned two days after checking out.

Whilst it was relatively clean and staff were friendly it was a disappointment to say the least.

Felt like an escape mission. Would not recommend!

I was that horrified at the condition and state of the room that I left pretty much as soon as we arrived.
I was looking forward to a relaxing night in, with having a \"spa suite\" - the spa had definitely seen better days.. and could smell mold as soon as you entered the room. It looked as though someone was just previously in there as the lamp shades were not straight, there was alot of dust accumulated and i didnt feel comfortable laying on the bad bed or sitting on the dirty couch. The floor was disgusting too.. I didnt even use any of the facilities, I was so upset and unsure about the whole vibe there in general that i had no choice but to leave and am hopful to retrieve any of my money back for such a disappointing experience for such an expensive \"hotel\". I was scared for myself and partners well being.

IU as on the bottom floor, once opened I discovered th clock had the screws almost removed. I contacted the nice guy in reception he tightened them up. I also noted and let them know that he safety chain was missing from the door so I had to push something up against the door for sleeping. Water pressure is super strong when I turned on the shower the head she up and flooded the ceiling and walls. I also let them know that pressure restrictors are really needed. The indian restaurant was ok the manager very friendly. I wish that I had ordered chicken as the lamb was impossible to eat very dry and tough.. The whole place needs a good clean and refurbish. The cleaners should clean up the bed as well. The location suited me well so thats where I went. Don't usually do reviews, but thought a real review is a good review.
