A terrible experience!

We've stayed at this motor inn a few times either overnight or two nights as one of our travel stops, and found the room (we were booked in the same room each time) to be clean, comfortable, and reasonable for the price. However, on our most recent trip we were provided with a different room. The bed was comfortable, but that's the extend of anything good to say about our stay. The bathroom/toilet seemed like it has not been cleaned in ages. There was mould on the tiles in the shower, and some tiles were cracked. The towels they supplied were threadbare, there was no toilet roll holder (but a toilet roll dispenser that required special rolls - not supplied), and dust/dirt settled in the corners behind the toilet. But wait, there's more! The room had no ventilation and smelt of stale urine, the toilet seat was not clean, and the floor was sticky. Ironing board but no iron, not all the appliances worked, the fluro lights in the lounge were blindingly bright with no light shades to diffuse the light. The hotel generally smelt of stale cigarette smoke. Never going back again!

The shower was mouldy, there were stains on the doona cover and the floor. Whenever i put my cup down it was covered in ants. The air-conditioner was extremely noisy. The towels were old and frayed. The sheets were clean!

Old and Dirty

The motel is very old and lacks maintenance, our room had paint peeling from bathroom ceiling, stains over bin , bed head and light switches. The shower was filthy with mould and grime all over tiles, it was an unpleasant stay in a dirty room. The only positive for the motel is location close to cafes and restaurants , however noise from semi trailers is quite loud

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was fairly clean, but the property is so neglected, there were plants in pots at the front entrance once, now just dead plants, not welcoming at all. There is an area behind the reception where staff and friends sit smoking , our room was number one and couldn't leave the door open as all you got was the smell of smoking. Plus on the sunday morning the tv in that area was on loud well before 7am, as well as loud chatter, no chance of a sleep in.

These rooms are small and basic, but have a simple retro vibe I kinda love. The owner is lovely, and it’s the PETER ALLEN MOTEL. They have PETER ALLEN SHIRTS for sale. Like, you could stay somewhere else but why would you?
