Parking was great as I parked right outside. Very welcoming staff. Sadly, the room wasnt great. The curtains had mould on them, the light above the bed was hanging off and the tiles in the shower were disgusting and the silicone was hanging off. The silicone between all the tiles was discoloured with mould. Not happy Im afraid.

The standard of the rooms was very poor .No bench or running water ,had to make coffee on the fridge top .Hole in bathroom wall had a rough plaster patch .My sisters unit bathroom had a checker plate sheet on the floor which was covering a large hole in the floor .The whole place seemed to be set up for seasonal fruit pickers and it appears some are moved out when a unit is needed .Clearly there needs to be a better inspection system.

Could have been better, a few areas that could have done with a clean and paint refresh. Tea bags were probably the cheapest they could buy, dam rubbish, bought our own.
Intermittent internet signal, varied depending on where one was in room, needs to be slightly stronger, had good sleep, bed quite comfy.

We booked this knowing it was an old unit and did not expect anything fancy, however it was so dirty. The shower was mouldy with rotting wood, same as the hand basin. The couch smelled of vomit and the oven looked like it was going to fall over. Even has a weed growing in under the back door! The whole place needs a scrub! We couldn’t stay the second night we had booked, as it was so yuck. Do not recommend

Honestly, the advert made me feel that the hotel/motel is average (or slightly above average - especially the good looking cover picture of the swimming pool).

However as soon as I landed there - I immediately knew I made a wrong choice. You are worried about the safety!

Then in the night around 2 am someone knocked our door (and tried to open it) for 3-4 times. I was with a family so I did not open the door but I also realised that the neighbour's doors were also knocked. We were really scared the rest of the night!

The property is very old. And all my family members got bed bugs.

In short, we had a terrible experience! Probably a big no from my opinion!

I didn’t do my due diligence here and booked without checking photos/reviews.
Didn’t feel very safe ever during this stay.
This should be a lot cheaper considering.
The hall and stairs was quite old and dirty.
Tbh my water pressure was fine and bed was comfy - linens etc felt clean.
Green gunk coming out of one of the power points.
But we needed an umbrella and there was one available to borrow which was cool!
Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re on a very tight budget and with a man.

The property had everything I look for but ... I don't use plastic kettles & the cleaners use a product that leaves a mild smell in the unit, akin to a cheap perfume. I can't see why we need to fill our living spaces with the odour of artificial (chemical) scents - bottom line, they are toxic. What is wrong with fresh air ? Luckily it was mild and having windows open mitigated the use of such products.

Absolutely shocked with the property conditions. They should not be allowed to operate. The room we stayed in was in a very poor state of repair. The furnishings were substandard. Dining chairs dirty and stained. Everything old and outdated. Displayed no care in presentation. We don’t sleep in the bed as would have been grossly covered in bedbugs. Carpets old and stained. Minimal conveniences. I’m so mad at myself for booking in here. I used to live in Hastings and the Apple Inn was a top location why I booked it. I was sorely disappointed to see how it has deteriorated. They take in REC workers as well and mix them up with their public units. I noticed ripped curtains in some of the units as we departed this morning. Not my cup of tea I’m afraid. Disgusting

Underwhelming is the highest compliment i can give

The bedroom had no ceiling light- it did have a mystery switch that did nothing. The bunk beds were loose, the archway had been filled in and a door inserted with large gaps. The back door did not unlock although a key was provided. The bunk bedroom has an exposed wire that obviously used to have a second light bulb but has been removed. There was no heating in the lounge area and the only heater was a wall mounted ceramic heater in the \"master bedroom\", the oven was mounted wooden pallet that was leaning. Fridge was loud, windows were weepy in the mornings. Wouldnt book again. - Mike

we have used this motel before and liked it enough to return. However because of my oversight we ended up in an upstairs unit which made life rather unpleasant as l am an
80year old Female with heart & joint problems and one of the others in our party had breathing issues. However the unit itself was a disappointment - the smoke alarm was
missing, the tea towel was paper thin with a hole in it. The bath towel was fraying at the edges. There were 3 people and only 1 face cloth. Will not be returning to this motel

It was easy to check in and check out. Plenty of parking. Staff were smiling and accommodating.

What was annoying was that the building wasn't soundproof. The toilet flushing was so loud that one can hear conversations in the room next door. No airconditioner in the room.

We stayed one night in Hastings to break up an otherwise longer journey. The motel was OK, probably one of the cheapest but nothing to write home about. No air conditioning but they did provide a fan.

The accommodation was spacious and comfortable but lacked adequate cooking facilities. I felt it was unhygienic not to have a separate basin for washing dishes. We were concerned that the fire doors were in need of repair and there were no smoke detectors or evacuation instructions. The swimming pool needed cleaning although good to have one.

It was available at short notice. It was clean and comfortable. Comfortable bed, all the amenities that we required. The walls were a bit thin as we could hear the man next door snoring but all right for two nights.

The bed was at right angle to the lights and hot points, better to have the bed head between the lights but room may be a factor. the shower run out of puff when needing cut back temperature. Apart from that really good and clean at a reasonable price. Close to shops Happy to stay again.

A lot of seasonal workers around but felt safe. My room was basic but clean and tidy.

Our room was clean and beds are comfy but the whole place is extremely run down. I booked it for the pool and the pool was out of order and green - during school holidays! Was disappointed.

It was cheap but it obviously caters to homeless people and large groups of seasonal workers who were noisy and inconsiderate . I would never stay there again. I was kept awake by a party next door until 2am even after asking them to please be quiet. The worst motel ever.

Although the unit we stayed in (#13) was very dated, and needs a complete renovation, the unit was clean and tidy. There are catches on the windows so they can be locked open, but unfortunately anyone can put an arm in to unlock the catch, and climb in. The bathroom and kitchen windows are up high and have security stays. The area seemed safe and was very quiet at night - the bed was extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for breakfast. Carparking was ideal, just outside our door. We noted the kitchen vinyl flooring has been patched, and we felt one of the bathroom walls need replacing. We attended a concert and this was fine for what we needed (somewhere to stay the night after the concert). The TV had good reception, and a couch in the room was an added bonus, as was the dining table and 2 chairs. Didn't have time to use the swimming pool or the laundry. Ideal location close to Hastings CBD.

The property was run down and dirty
Furniture was substandard or broken
The place suits demolition
I am supprised that you promote a property in this condition
