Lots of council work and development going on, council road work at front door went on all night. Building was old and needed a refurbishment. Inside was clean and tidy. Couldn’t connect to their wifi. Other patrons were friendly. Bit overpriced IMO

I had pre-booked and prepaid weeks before and confirmed by phone that I would be arriving a bit later due to a delayed flight. I was assured everything was ok. Upon arrival, after about 40 minutes of stumbling through their computer system and making phone calls, the staff member informed me that their "system had made an error" and my room was no longer available and they had no rooms. So at 11pm I was forced to frantically find another place or sleep on the street. The staff member was apologetic at least.

We didn’t enjoy our stay the fridge smelt like off prawns every time you opened it. The wardrobe has cracks and hole on the door and the floor. When I brought it down to the managers attention she said sorry, no offer to change room or discount the stay. No mention prior to arrival of the 24/7 road works and construction happening in front of the motel or next door.
