8/10

It was ok, but extremely dated and in need of renovations. I wouldn't have been comfortable staying here solo, door lock was dodgy, and it felt a bit dodgy in general, but it was ok for two mates needing a cheap nights rest.

This property is rundown and is in serious need of renovation or detonation, when I last stayed there be it circa 2004 a client I consulted too accomadated here, nothing has been changed since then bedding, curtains, bathroom, tea and coffee facility, never stay here again, I should have realised when the accommodation is so cheap,

Room was good. But intermittent unreliable tv reception and some stations no sevice at all. Antenna or connector should be looked at.

1-night trip

2/10

No glass at all in one window frame. Just a flyscreen stickey taped to the frame. Rooms look nothing like the pictures. Beds were all different. Sheets were old and had dirt on them. Bugs throughout the room. Surfaces were not even clean. Carparking was good. Location is withing walking distance to shops. But rooms are not worth more than $50 a night.

Lady at the front desk was kind and helpful. Went out of her way when we had a problem with a tour bus not showing up. Was able to get an Uber to meet the tour bus somewhere else and did not miss our tour we planned many months in advance.
