Convenient for our medical appointments but needs attention to details
Pros:

pet friendly room; convenience to food outlets

Cons:

Plastic wine glass; wristbands from previous guests in the shower; bed cover stained; needs new ironing board cover; no milk in the fridge; only three teabags; hand & body lotion empty; no face washer; body wash in shower is dnagerous when some falls onto the floor makes it very slippery - should have alternative soap bars; lawn outside needs attention as full of bindis and burrs and dog wouldnt walk outside

Pros:

Location close to the hotel

Cons:

I didn’t like the location of our room which was next to the motels rubbish tip and the marijuana smell floating into our room for two doors up.
The shower gel and hand soap dispensers were also empty.
