This property is nothing like the photos, it was filthy beyond words. The grounds un kept, we had chicken bones outside our door, beer bottles out front, the place did not look like it had been cleaned in a long time. The pool was covered and appeared like it had not been used for quite some time. Spa was the same with cloudy water.
Lounge.
Pool area.
All skirtings thick with dust and dirt.
Dirty stained sheets.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was the worst motel we have ever seen. We actually didn't stay and had to quickly book another motel which was hard last minute. The place was filthy, and the room which hadn't been cleaned was not habitable, the receptionist didn't speak any English so had someone on a speaker phone trying to organise all the arrivals. We don't think this this motel should be allowed to operate.

There are alot of hanging cobwebs from the Bedroom ceiling. One of the windows in the bedroom won't close. The curtain netting has mold on it. Wall plug outlet in bedroom is faulty and dose not work. Wall plug outlet switch has almost popped out so we didn't dare use the TV. Over all.... A very unsafe room for a family with little kids.

We booked a room for 4 people; 2 adults and 2 children. We were aware this meant 1 queen bed, 1 single, and 1 pull out couch. But the pull out couch didn't fit in the room, so our daughter slept on the couch as it was. Therefore, this is definitely not a 4 person room. Otherwise the location was perfect, property clean, and the room had everything we needed (other than the right amount of beds that fit in the room!).
