Enjoyed the Exec Suite being upstairs. The location was great in walking nearby the beach & shops. Overall state of the motel requires ALOT of upgrading! Quite dilapidated. Appears to be nice looking on website, but BEWARE! Bedding & linen is very old. Needs to be replaced! Double bed had no support. Quite worn out. Ended up with a sore back, first night. Moved furniture around to sleep on single bed. Quite horrifed at the rubbish/dust hidden under single bed & 2-seater sofa! No instructions on how to use the Daiken heat pump. Carpark is very pokey. Came out next morning to leave & found my small car sandwiched between (2) SUVs. Car park lines are faded. No room for visitor cars. Receptionist handed me a small bottle of milk on my arrival. The day I booked in was the expiry date of the milk! Cleaning/servicing was terrible! Dead insects & dust seen clearly with the naked eye around edges of carpet. Very little pride or professionalism shown in the staff. Quite disappointed overall.
