Did not expect to see at least four shopping trundlers and a couple of road cones out of our window on the property. Property needs a general update. Staff friendly. Conviently situated, a walk to town and transport.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Although the rooms were large enough and clean. It was scruffy with some peeling paint and edges of the wall paper, the bath tub had no taps and was unusable, the shower door did not close fully and no holders for soaps and shampoos and had to use the floor. doors either were very tight to close and open or blew open with the wind. I believe the accommodation is over priced for what you get.

The Property Manager was excellent, but the motel units are extremely tired and need upgrading. The bathrooms in particular were not up to standard. It is a good location.

Liked: Staff & service
There were no staff at the property for our whole 8 day stay. We stayed over the Christmas period & only had evidence of staff providing new towels on 2 days. Property location is ok if you have a car. Property is quite dated but reasonably clean. Bathroom & kitchen really need to be updated. A very average stay, ok as we were just sleeping there & out all day visiting family.

Overall I liked the property and the area it was in. Close to the hutt river and a little park and other motels. Walking along the river was very healing. I liked the architecture. It seemed very 1980's and like a dutch style. The room was nice and cool and had good solid walls. The bathroom was great. A few things that would've made it better... the light bulb in one of the lamps was out. Flannels are pretty much a necessity to just wipe the day away from the face. Internet connection in and out but that may not be the fault of the motel. With x generation perseverance I just kept reconnecting and eventually we got to watch terminator 2 which was really cool. My thanks to the owners. I enjoyed my stay.
