Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This hotel was the most disappointing establishment we have had the misfortune of visiting. The pervasive odor and uncleanliness were overwhelming, and even our dog refused to eat in the room. A cockroach was discovered in my room, and the pillow was extremely uncomfortable and lacked sufficient loft. We experienced severe discomfort, verging on nausea. Despite booking a two-night stay and paid an extra 72$ for our dog, we departed after the first day due to our deteriorating health. The hotel's name suggests a level of luxury, but the reality is far inferior to even the most basic accommodations in developing countries.

Good value for a comfortable bed for one-two nights. The owner is very accommodating. We like to take our own pillows. Lovely and quiet when we stayed on a Monday night. The price is very reasonable. Will stay again - next time will be our 3rd stay.

I liked the friendly face on arrival and the location was great. There was plenty of hot water for a shower. My only dislike was the fact that we only had three days there. If we were in the area again we will stay there again. The restaurant attached is nice and the food was really good and plentiful. The room we stayed in had no microwave which is a real oversight in these days for people on the move.

The premises looked okay from outside though the lawns were infested with weeds, The room at first sight seemed okay but on further use I found the bathroom to be very much in need of maintenance No microwave supplied and no wine or spirit glasses provided also.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property is old and run down, the curtain and light fittings were barely hanging on the walls. The doors were difficult to open and close, let alone lock. Outdoor area was dirty and clearly has not been cleaned or maintained for months, we dared not use the pool. There was also alot of animal waste on the grounds. I’m surprised the lawn was even mown. The games room had a pool table , in terrible condition, a ping pong top on the other , with equipment that looks like was picked up by the side of the road. If I was there with my wife & daughters , we wouldn’t have stayed an hour.

Just basic... I won't go there again

Just basic... I know it was cheap, but extremely basic. All very old and out dated. Bad beds and pillows, no kitchenette only a toaster and kettle on one "cupboard", a fridge over there. No lounge and a tiny table. Old bathroom with a shower curtain that was not closing due to a screw in the track. No flyscreens in the window & only letting flys in, so we just kept the aircon on most of the time (a shame as I love the coastal air and it wasn not too hot) The room was huge and totally waste of space Other guests were loud till 10pm and no one fro the hotel told them to quite down

Smelly room with wet carpet

As soon as we walked into the room we were greeted with a terrible smell that seemed to be stuck to the rooms inner soul. When we turned on the bathroom light / fan , the fan was rattling so loud it would keep a hibernating brown bear awake all winter. Additonaly, there was a huge wet patch on the floor whcih made us keep out shoes on the whole time. May have only been this room but will definitely never stay there again for the price we paid.

The front counter staff were rude on check in. The room was not clean the shower walls were disgusting marks/stains on the walls in the sleeping area. No lightbulbs in the main room so only 1 light in the whole room. The pool was milky and dirty. Very loud had other guests waking us up each night at all hours. Basic bedding sheet then a thin doona no cover then another sheet on top not all the pillows had cases on them.
