Room leaked when it rained, carpet was stained and smelled of mould. T.V wasn't working and there was mould in the shower. If it wasn't for the fact that we had been traveling for 9 hours, we would have gone elsewhere. 12 hrs after leaving the room we can still smell it (the room), in our clothes. Absolutely disgusting.

Don't bother ... Sleep in your car. This is rated an awful place. Ripped off on price. Grubby. Looks like its about to be demolished. Bed lumpy and horrible. Tiny tv, no bedside clock No shampoo etc And for this they had the cheek to charge $110 per night.

No No! 50 year old photos misrepresent premises fit only for demolition, but this may create an asbestos problem. Sorry no gas masks supplied on check-in to overcome the smell. The only 'waltzing' here were the mites and lice amongst the threadbare linen and tip supplied microwave; the vermin had already left or had they?

The office was closed but a couple of other travelers were there trying to get the owners to respond. The warned us off and showed us there room - dirty, smelly and with mould around the shower room appliances. No we did... More

Don't bother - find somewhere else to stay. Very tired - slap dash reno = DIY painting of walls. No mattress or pillow protectors, no soap - unclean. Rained during night - roof needs serious maintenance. Grubby

We have just spent from Monday to Wednesday at the motel. On arrival we were attended to at the reception and given room 3 which we found to be clean and comfortable (obviously the room had been recently painted as mentioned in answer to other reviews). There was plenty of hot water for showers, clean sheets and towels and the... More

My friend and I stayed at this hotel for only 1 night. The reception was very untidy and looked as though it hadn't been vacumed for a long time. We were told our room wasn't ready so we had to wait for 15 mins, we came back and still was not ready, waited another 30mins, came back and it was... More

The motel has obviously had no serious maintenance in decades and is waiting for the demolition to begin. I have stayed in many an older motel and found them very satisfactory while travelling but they had decent showers, decent bedding and secure locks. Everything including the linen was as old and threadbare as the building. When I pulled back the... More
