    Whn I 1st booked in I was told pets are fine so wax checked in thn couple of days later wax told I had to move rooms because of my dog. The room was alot dearer by $50,abd and so dirty the curtains had mold on the bottom off them curtains rails think wth dust and dirt the floors looked like thy had never been cleaned and the Bathroom was the worst. Have taken photos b4 and after and the bathroom was outside of the unit like the old wash house used to be cold as h... at night time. As a motel guest I should not have to clean it b4 I used it. I showed the owner the end result abd said about getting a discount o no can't do that but thnks for cleaning it (lol) the manager said we didn't ask you (me) to clean it but I hate dirt.

    It was gd tht I could hve my dog with me and it was close to everything

    Bed was way too soft and only 2 very thin towels, no hand towels or shower mat - we could have asked for some but we're just too tired to care - horrendous weather to travel in.

    Nice people, very helpful. Good location being just off motorway and reasonably quiet

    Heater electrical cord in living/bedroom will not reach nearest electrical socket. Window in the kitchen where the main bed lacks privacy. Kitchen faucet has a separate spout for hot and cold water. Shower is claustrophobic and water temperature is difficult to set.

    That i couldnt do washing before 10am or after 5pm. The bathroom facilities and rooms could do with an upgrade of paint and carpet. It felt old and dusty

    Loved the space of the room and the cooking amenities. Location is super central to everything we needed

    No hot water in the sink, had to use shower to wash hands after using toilet or eating. Parking was difficult, thank goodness the tenants were understandable and said we could swap.

    Close to the area we needed to be at. It had a fan to keep us cool.

    The room was lit up too bright at night - curtain over ranchslider was almost see through and none in kitchen area meaning it was almost impossible to get to sleep.

    Perfect location to the train station as we were attending a concert in Penrose.
