Absolutely nothing.
The fact that I discussed in person that I needed to extend my stay and was told "no worries we'll keep you in the same room". Coming back and being told my room was changed and they packed my stuff for me. Only to be missing most of my personal belongings.

Nothing.
My Brother's room had a hole in the bathroom door.
The bathroom cabinet was chipboard and the top and broken.
My room had a leaking bathroom tap that couldn't be turned off.
The Milk provided was only 3 little tubs.
It was observed us and other occupants that there was alot of human traffick going in and out and all looks scruffy looking.
When I had originally booked 2 rooms, my room was supposed to have bunk beds of which I was given a room with a queen size and a single bed. With my daughter in law they double booked her room then gave her 2 rooms with 1 queen and 1 single in both.
Completely disgusted with the whole service.

Close to facilities and to Hockey grounds where we needed to be. Bed was comfortable even though it was propped up with a brick on one corner. Nice hot shower.
Quite a bit of mould on ceiling in bathroom area. Air conditioner didn't work properly. No electric jug and not
enough coffee mugs or cutlery. In need of a re-vamp.

The motel is perfectly placed for going out for dinner as the pub is just up the road.

Place was very clean and the air-conditioning worked perfectly. Staff were awesome and strive for solutions.
The only thing I didn't like was the water pressure, it took forever for the shower to warm up with just hot water running, any less pressure it may have been a trickle. And as soon as you have a good temp, if someone else in the block uses a tap, the shower is instantly cold.

super convenient location. close to where we needed to be.
Air conditioner didn’t really work properly and wasn’t overly clean. Swing vein didn’t move and first night couldn’t adjust settings with the remote (wouldn’t work) but it did the remaining nights. Paint peeling to ceiling in bathroom/toilet/vanity area and was also covered in mould. There weren’t sufficient amounts of crockery to the amount of guest staying in the room. 2 mugs for 4 people as an example.

Location, close to all amenities.
Unsettling incident on arrival. Action was taken by management.

Well there was no locks on the toilet or bathroom door. Arguing from the motel owners 🙄. Weird stuff going on all night. And had our fridge of the back of the ute stolen not only did they steal the fridge they cut the wires and then left the plug. Asked to see video footage as there is security cameras but conveniently had a power outage. Which leaves me to think that it was done by someone on the premises so be very careful if you choose to waste money here.

the location
Well as soon as I got there no one was in reception and the door was shut so I had to wait outside then when I went to look for my room everything was wide open, the door was unlocked and all the windows were open, anyone could of entered while I wasn’t there. but as soon as I got in there was a terrible smell i had to go out and buy myself sprays for the room, it was disgusting, I felt so uncomfortable I didn’t even want to touch anything I didn’t have to! so many insects around the room as well.

We didn’t end up staying as we had to leave but the room was dirty and we would have booked somewhere else as we wouldn’t have stayed in that room.
Very dirty and run down.

It stank of cigarette smoke in the office, vape in the room, wasn’t clean. Very very noisy. Any time anyone smoked outside it came straight into the room. Awful place to stay
