WORST LADY EVER

The lady was so arrogant. I booked online and she says nope and left 2 kids and i woth no where to stay and wouldnt give my money back. Absolutely appalling. Someone so arrogant should not be allowed to work with people. Like agressive dogs muzzle it.

Unfortunately each room had a strange odour, unit 1 the TV did not function, we were then transferred to unit 9 same odour and TV problem, the owner did attempt to satisfy our needs and was very attentive, we decided to move on to another motel. Pet Friendly Motels we will avoid at all costs in the future!
