Room is listed as queen and double config when it's actually a queen/double and single. AC sounded like a plane or truck was going passed all night and was not cooling the room whatsoever. No fans in the room so the room was disgustingly hot. Doorhandle wobbles and moves in the door. Haven't heard back from my numerous requests for compensation for the experience.
The room had small cockroaches and the bathroom black mould

Cockroaches in the room, bedside tables hadn’t been cleaned (drink marks etc), no extra blankets as only sheets on the bunk beds. Power points next to queen bed didn’t work either.
More info about parking before you get there as there's no parking available on the street if you haven't checked in. A better website to find where to change bank card details if card doesn't work for the deposit. Needs signs around the building showing where room numbers are. Soap in the bathroom needed, a tissue box needed.
The room was clean and beds were comfortable …a complete set of cutlery would be good, there were no knives or teaspoons. Loved the pool and the shower was hot and full stream. Some WD40 spray needed on all sliding doors.
To totally disgusting there was cockroaches on the bed cockroaches crawling from under the bed. There was mould and filth everywhere. The place was disgusting.
Parking was not secure despite being advertised as such. The room was tiny and very worn, not like the pictures at all. My bed didn’t have a blanket and a very stained mattress protector. My son had a stained blanket and no mattress protector (being a former hotel managers daughter, I always strip my bed as I leave). No convenient power points. It was a place to lay our heads for the night but that’s it.
Terrible and run down . Key doesn’t work to get into car park so you have to walk out and use the roller door massive inconvenience to get to your vehicle . Bed was shocking I might has well slept on the floor as my back is now hurting from the spring in my back . I never complain but the was terrible property bathroom windows was filthy with smears all over them . Furniture in terrible condition
Very poor unit all round. Terrible beds. Poor cleaning. Wasn't the room I was shown when I booked. The whole place needs a major overhaul. No one entered our unit the 7 nights we were there and did anything. No rubbish was collected and I couldn't find anywhere to put it. It wasn't a place you wanted to spend anytime in apart from sleeping. The wifi was good. The parking on site was ok. It was very handy for the Florida tram stop so that was a plus but I paid premium and expected slightly better. I wouldn't go there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
No staff on site - carpark very dark
Key entry to pool broken
Entry to building broken
Anyone from the street can walk in
all the way to Motel residence doors.
this was central to the shops. great location.
mould all over the blind. noisy with traffic.
an intoxicated man was banging on my window, and smashing other clients windows at midnight. he was able to access the motel through the gate with the broken lock. two police crews arrested him, lights and sirens - by the time the staff had cleaned up it was 02.00. this was very scary especially because I was by myself.
I had to work the next day and was very upset and tired.
The TV had such poor reception I could not even watch the news.
the pool looked clean and well maintained. - I saw kids enjoying the pool.
the reception is dirty with cracked glass.
my bathroom window had cracked glass.
overall a poor experience.
the shower leaked all over the floor.
I went to the chemist and purchased ear plugs and phenergan to sleep.
Good carpark security, however the gates were not always shut.
There was active mold all in bathroom,black mould in shower and all roof,wet smelly carpet,flooded carpet walkway to get to room. House keeping didnt even check our kettle that had boiled noodles in from previous guest. House keeping was so loud shouting to each other and banging around early for hours on end. Heavy road noise,got hit up by other guests for drugs. Never will stay there again
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
