Old and Tired but Clean

Older style of hotel in desperate need of renovations and repairs. We stayed in room 6, and although it was old it was clean the the shower was hot. Reception was friendly and it was well priced and everything was booked out for the Burt Munro festival.

Room was clean. Unfortunately that was the only positive for this property. Only 1 bath towel each for my wife and I. No hand towels or face cloths. Kitchen was poorly stocked and no dish towels for drying.The parking was limited and not very secure. Very sketchy neighborhood.

No wifi, no cups, no microwave, no mattress protectors, no aircon, glasses dirty, no tea towels or dish washing liquid. Found the tea and coffee caddie in bathroom drawer. Carpet dirty, no extra blanket on request . Refused first room they offered and ended up with a room much worse. The walls and shower glass lots of scum marks and food - prawn legs and noodles on floor in toilet. This place needs to be avoided. DISGUSTING.

The property had missing things (cups / TV remote) damage to walls / windows. It was cheap and spacious and contact friendly. We knew what we were getting. I loved having a view of the historic, old cemetery. Thank you.

Property was not suitable for use; it appeared as though it was mid-renovation, though there was no indication that work was ongoing.
