The receptionist is very friendly, he helped me with the luggage. Room is comfortable and clean, they have a big front yard with beautiful view. The location is not far from town but enough to be quiet at night, they also have electric gate for security. You could have breakfast buffet with the discount price 15$.

2/10 Poor

Single blanket made up on queen bed- looked hilarious! Curtains barely covered window space when stretched out flat, allowed light in big time. Piles of furniture and rubbish everywhere, very unkempt outside areas. Noisy AC, freezer hardly froze ice bricks, the list does go on and on

I’m not sure if they cleaned the room before we arrived. There was soap and opened shampoo bottles left in the shower still.

2/10 Poor

Unit was dirty. Accommodation was run down. There were not enough eating utensils and drink ware for two people. How can you wash up what you use when there is not even a plug for the sink or a tea towel.
Deb, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Cheap and nasty

We had low expectations and we were still disappointed
Jennifer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I had booked and paid for 2 nights with breakfast but upon seeing the room I raised my concerns with the manager as I was then told to leave the premises as he would not let me stay in any rooms of his. I want a complete refund
