It was easy to check in and check out. Plenty of parking. Staff were smiling and accommodating. What was annoying was that the building wasn't soundproof. The toilet flushing was so loud that one can hear conversations in the room next door. No airconditioner in the room.

The accommodation was spacious and comfortable but lacked adequate cooking facilities. I felt it was unhygienic not to have a separate basin for washing dishes. We were concerned that the fire doors were in need of repair and there were no smoke detectors or evacuation instructions. The swimming pool needed cleaning although good to have one.

Our room was clean and beds are comfy but the whole place is extremely run down. I booked it for the pool and the pool was out of order and green - during school holidays! Was disappointed.

Although the unit we stayed in (#13) was very dated, and needs a complete renovation, the unit was clean and tidy. There are catches on the windows so they can be locked open, but unfortunately anyone can put an arm in to unlock the catch, and climb in. The bathroom and kitchen windows are up high and have security stays. The area seemed safe and was very quiet at night - the bed was extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for breakfast. Carparking was ideal, just outside our door. We noted the kitchen vinyl flooring has been patched, and we felt one of the bathroom walls need replacing. We attended a concert and this was fine for what we needed (somewhere to stay the night after the concert). The TV had good reception, and a couch in the room was an added bonus, as was the dining table and 2 chairs. Didn't have time to use the swimming pool or the laundry. Ideal location close to Hastings CBD.

Hot shower. Kitchen with all necessary items ie pots & pans, toaster. The trip hazard going into the bedroom one had to be aware of. Didn’t like having a heated blanket in place as it was uncomfortable to sleep on. Maintenance on the building seems to be an issue, especially internally.

The grounds were average, Not happy about staying in motel where there are homeless people. We had friends who came around for a coffee and there were only two cups, luckily we had a couple of take away cups which we got out of the rubbish and washed. Usually in motels there are 4 of cups, plates, cultery and glasses. A little disappointed

Entering the property looked liked it had been abandoned. The front portion of the dwelling look liked it had had no maintenance, no care for several years. Basics were missing in the room- no shampoo in the room. no welcome note from the owners on the table, nor any folder with information about the motel, shops, restaurants and facilities.

everything else was allgoods but the carpet i was disgusted with. it was so dirty it really needed a wash. I could tell it was vacuumed but the stickiness of the dirt on the carpet and the feeling of it under our feet was not cool at all. I stayed here with my husband and our 2 young children and we had to wear shoes whenever we hopped off the bed. Was supposed to stay for 2 nights but we left after one night due to the carpet.
