The reception welcome was good but the room was really disappointing. Very neglected, we couldn't use the fan because the light fitting underneath was coming loose and made a very unsafe whirring noise that was causing the fan to vibrate and make very loud noises. We used the air con instead which worked fine. The robe doors were rusty as were some of the light fittings. The freezer in the fridge was in need of a defrost, we could not keep our cold foods really cold. The room in general was of a poor standard, compared to where we had stayed the night before in Cardwell it was very disappointing.

Hi Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. The motel has recently changed hands and the new owner has plans to refurbish many of the rooms. We acknowledge that some of the rooms are in need of a makeover. However, our team takes pride in meeting and exceeding guest expectations. We encourage guests who are not happy with their room allocation to advise the reception staff and request another room. The reception staff will happily accommodate your request.

Dismil exterior of units, I had booked a garden apartment, there are no gardens
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023
Response from EvieB on 2023/9/21
Thank you for your feedback Barbara. You were moved to the accessible room for your stay as the room the system allotted for you was the first motel room at the very front of the property—and I didn't think you'd like the traffic noise. There are gardens behind the adjoining rooms you stayed in and I apologise you didn't get to see them from your room. There isn't a lot we can do about the brick exterior of the motel unfortunately...

We were very unhappy with our motel room and how much we paid. it was so so old that the floor felt sticky. The smell was disgusting and it felt unclean. there was also no body soap to use. They have not taken it off of the listings as it is so badly needing work to be done. We should not have to cope booking, paying and staying in this disgust.
Response from Tracey on 2023/7/25
Thank you for your review Kim. In your comments, I do note that you fail to mention that the staff tried to make amends to when you complained about your room and wanted to cancel the second night. The onsite manager provided you with a free upgrade to a larger 2 bedroom unit at no extra cost. We try to speak with all bookers and guests to make sure we meet everyone's expectations. However, sometimes this is not possible.

The room we stayed in had hipes in the ceiling where it did like look it was from the tv they had hanginh up there. The bathroom wall was coming apart near the bath tub.

Response from Julie on 2023/7/25
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. I noticed that your initial booking was for one night. You extended your stay by a further two nights. Booking direct and paying direct with the motel. At no stage during your three night stay did you request a move to another room. We would have happily accommodated that request had we known that you were not satisfied. We could have moved you to a room away from the guest who complained about the noise coming from your room (allegedly until 2am). These people cancelled their additional nights accommodation to find somewhere quieter. They did advise of their dissatisfaction, not with the room. But with the noisy guests next door. I will forward your review to the team. Thanks again. We always appreciate feedback from guests - Management

Friendly, helpful lady at check in & during stay. Ensuite needed an update, but was well maintained and very clean. Room was not large, but there was a sliding door to back patio with table & chairs. Parking at door. Only one bedside table. More power points ( or double adapters) needed in microwave, toaster, jug area and beside beds. Good bathroom lighting. Unreliable WiFi - kept dropping out. Motel was conveniently situated, and well priced.
