This was a last minute decision to stay here for my wife’s birthday. We chose this place due to the pool- for the kids! The lady at the counter was very nice- she offered us the 3 bedroom house- very clean and comfortable. But old and musky smell- couldn’t stay in one room due to the smell. The location of the house was next to a busy intersection- so couldn’t sleep due to cars and trucks flying past- plus the driveway is next to a blind corner- we nearly got smashed twice coming out of the driveway. The kids couldn’t swim as the pool was so rundown- green dirty bottom and broken tiles- and couldn’t sit outside - there was broken fly screens on the table. Like I said it was clean (apart from 100 smoke butts still in the ashtray on our balcony) and comfortable- but for $380 for one night- spend the extra $20 and stay at quest or similar. Never again!

Romm was OK but seemed to be under renovation. Thin walls, noisy. We arrived late, but had a key code to enter and we left early in the morning so didn't see any staff. The lady who organised the key code was fine.

There was old furniture and dirty laundry everywhere. Pool unusable and filthy. Reception like an episode of hoarders, staff could barely open the door. I was shocked at the amount of money I had to pay for the nights accommodation even though it was relatively cheap!
