Room was not what we expected from their website. Curtains were torn, window filthy stopping enjoying the view of bay. Bed uncomfortable, sheets didn’t look fresh, towels were frayed and thin.
Eastern Sands is anything but luxurious as stated in the website. Would not recommend this motel. The only positive was the position where it was.
They have dodgy comp rent rooms on their behalf. They charge you more then the original price they tell and withdrawl even more then they say they charged. Then when i try to cancel they say go through the comp you book with but when i exp i can't so im asking you to do it she played dumb and then tell me it's not her problem and hung up on me. Rings me back today and when i answer she hangs up. Pathetic. I will be making sure i air it on every site possible you are thieves and your hotel is nothing but filth and your service is terrible and never to use your services. I'll even tell them about the hidden cameras fond in the rooms

Rubbish strewn around carpark. My room not cleaned and no clean towels for the 3 night stay.
Could not access clean towels due to no staff on duty. TV worked intermittently. Have stayed here before with great service . This stay was frustrating.
When arrived, we could only get 3 tv channels. Our booking stated cable was available. When asking reception staff they said they didn’t know about it and yes, only a few tv channels available (not HD TVs). I stated the booking information advised otherwise and staff said they’d only just taken over management and don’t know.
Upon returning to our room late at night, we noticed our shower had quite a lot of male body hair on the shower base. The previous guest had also blown their nose in the shower and this was dried on the shower tiles. It was too late to notify staff.
Our towels were fraying also. No big deal, just unprofessional.
We only required a bed & bathroom for the night for a very short overnight stay, nothing fancy. But this was unclean and unhygienic. I work in a family run cleaning business and would never leave a bathroom in that condition.
Very disappointed and could not advise staff upon checkout as office closed. Have emailed the property to advise and that we also have photos for reference if required.
The men that were there went above and beyond to help me. Offering to park my car and to carry my luggage put on the air conditioner and they put me in a lower unit than i paid for
Our room was terrible. Minimal hot water. Carpets putrid. Room snelled if stale cigarettes. Questionable surrounds. Reception not manned very much. Would not recommend.

Comfy Beds, clean room, great location. Entire property needs a complete facelift and freshen up though.
False advertising, hotel does not reflect pictures. Room old, dirty and smelly. Holes in the wall, stained chairs, bathroom mouldy, pillows and bedding yellow. Absolutely the worst motel we have ever stayed in. Not worth half the price paid.
Desperately needing care to details. Grass growing in spouting, widows dirty. Couldn’t use the dirty shower. Television was so old that could not view many channels. Had to ask for wifi code and wifi was poor.
Car park was dirty and the whole place needs a refit.
Made a big mistake booking this motel, room not as in photos, very dated and poor condition. We returned to motel late afternoon to find the cleaners had removed used towels but did not leave any replacements, the reception was unattended so we rang the number on door only to be told he could do anything as he was not on site, reception was still not open upon checkout, so still no towels.
