Parking my car outside my door. 🚘
Being able to have a comfortable rest. 🛌
No neighbor noises. 🗣
Security gates. 🔐
Good space. 🏨

Cons:

Not enough towels. No hand towel. 🥴
No face washers. Used bandaid in the shower 🤮
No teaspoon to stir my tea. 🥄
Badly broken tiles in the bathroom. 🛁
Old rusty fridge. Musty smell. 👃
Dusty floors and bench tops.

Very disappointing
Pros:

Staff at check-in were friendly and the beds were comfortable. Convenient location near the airport.

Cons:

The pool looked like a green swamp. The driveway is full of potholes. The motel and room smelt extremely musty and needed to be aired out. Wallpaper is ripped off and walls are dirty. Chairs and curtains in room are badly stained. No satellite tv, wardrobe, phone in room etc as advertised. Clothes rack with broken hangers. Kitchenette right next to toilet and shares the same sink/basin. Kettle and mugs right by toilet/shower - highly unsanitary! No plates, cutlery, microwave or wash-up materials. Worst part... previous guest's dirty underwear was found by the foot of the bed!!! Very badly maintained for the price charged. Disappointing as I've stayed in an adjacent part of this motel and the facilities were much better and $15pn cheaper.
