Property is under renovation, and they are trying hard to make it better. However new carpet etc can only do so much on a old rundown motel complex. Its value for money, but not perfect.

Would NOT recommend! I made a last minute online booking about 1.5hrs before arrival, and I couldn't even stay at this property due to feeling unsafe with my family. We checked out again about an hour later. The rooms pictured are at the back of the property and are the only thing 'done up' since being emergency housing (interior only). The remainder of the property looks like its decades past needing repair/upgrade and even though it stated the pool and restaurant were under repair - there was no signs of that. I was given a park at the front of the property facing rooms with peeling painted over windows or stacks of applicances. Rusty pipes everywhere. Before booking online, I phoned to ask if they were emergency housing to which they said no and they did not mention that they HAD been. I only found this out when they phoned me and their old name 'Four Canoes' came up. They have refused to provide any refund to me despite not even staying there.

The Marsden provided everything we needed for our. Nice clean tidy room, good beds to come back to each evening. And the shower was one of the best we've experienced in all our years of traveling.

Overall this was great accommodation for myself and my daughter :) The staff were friendly, the room was clean and tidy and it was very local to the shops. The only con was that there was no air conditioning, so it was a little hot at night time. It was also under renovations so looked run down from the outside and the pool wasnt going. Othet than that it was fine :)

I’m sorry to say but we did not like our stay For the price we payed for 2 nights $498 It was an unfinished renovation room with paint all over the windows, room only had a undercoat, no extractor fan in bathroom, and also had masking tape over the smoke detector which is not safe, our sliding door to go outside had building and old hotel rubbish. also the guest above us was outside smoking weed So not a great experience at all

Overall the room was nice as it had recently been renovated, nice bed and sheets. However, the bathroom tiles still hadn’t been cleaned properly, the shower head leaked and was either boiling hot or cold, no hand towel rail. No iron in the room. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel seemed a bit dingy but the rooms were nice once you got inside.

I was kindly upgraded to a better room which was nice. The staff were all kind happy and very polite. One thing that put me off a bit was the place looks deralict when you 1st drive in. However the hotel is obviously putting a lot of effort into refurbishing the rooms as mine was nicely presented conpaired to some of the old rooms i saw. I would happily stay there again.

The place was still under renovations. Room was nice, however no air conditioning and had to leave the door open to cool down. No milk was offered so had to buy our own. Other than that it was ok.

The staff was really friendly and nice. The place has new ownership and the rooms are being renovated. Room we were in was very clean only complaint I have is the smell , but that is everywhere. You get used to it. It will be a great place once the pool and the rest of the building is done

Worth giving it a chance
So… my room was great. Updated and clean. Comfortable and good location. Front desk was really helpful. The whole property is being renovated and based on my room, it will be really nice. Just know that currently (Oct 2024), not all the property looked great. Give it a shot though. A little rough still on the exterior but the room was great.
