Review 4：Location - ease of check in - spacious rooms
Review 5：Accomm not very clean, poorly equipped. General appearance of whole complex old and uncared for. Would not recommend to friends. Also pool disgusting.
Review 6：Great location, close to shops and beach. Feiendly owners, helpfull, replaced gas on bbq, soon as we ask. Rooms clean and tidy. Highly recomended, great value for money oaid
Review 7：The size of a kitchen sink was a bit small. Just wished the room was a little bit bigger.
Review 8：Good location. Good to have a stove to cook a simple meal. Reasonably clean for the price.
Review 9：There was no kettle or tea making facilities. Not one glass, cup cutlery or crockery. Lucky I had a bottle of water.
Review 10：It was clean, the bed was comfortable and clean linen and bed covers. Good for an overnight stay.
Review 11：Hair dryer kaput, missing tea towels & some kitchen essentials, but managers would have remedied this happily if asked. Door curtains a bit "transient", but this IS budget (aka backpacker) accommodation, not the Hilton!
Review 12：Helpful, friendly managers; informal, pleasant environment; clean, comfortable beds; good hot shower; fresh, clean linen; good reverse cycle air con; trees outside the door; fresh WA wildflowers in foyer; close to everywhere.
Review 13：The room as to much in it it has a full size cooker but no where to but anything room need a rethink
Review 14：Clean rooms close to where we need to be and good price
Review 15：It was an easy check in/out. The accomodation is superb for what you are paying. The accomodation has a bit of everything you will need in case you fancy cooking there. Clean bed sheets, clean room in general. Has a Tv with a Dvd Player and they offer a great collection of DvD's at the counter to chill out with over the night. Not far from Margaret River and local attractions. And a really nice and clear beach just less than 5 minutes away, and pretty quiet beach too. Thanks for the stay, I will be going there on my next long weekend and recomending this place to some friends. Staff are very helpful, if you are looking at things to do while down there, just ask them over the counter, and they will short you out with plenty of options.
Review 16：Renovations happening next to my unit... Can't really help upgrading the units tho.
Review 17：I liked the location and lovely staff, the pool and own onsuite is a great bonus aswell.
Review 18：It 's a run down place,I booked a two bedroom apartment , it sound good but when we get there it's turn out look like a massage parlour.you know what I mean !!!!! The pool and the spa are very dirty. I wouldn't recommend to anyone........
Review 19：Nothing that I like
Review 20：The ad online said the pool was operational and knowing we were travelling there at a very hot time with a young child, the pool was the deciding factor in choosing that motel. However we arrived and it was not working and hasn't been for quite some time.
Review 21：Room was tiny .Barely enough room to walk around the bed. There was alot of noise from the road and adjoining room.
Review 22：Friendly helpful staff .Room was very clean.
Review 23：nothing to cook with. only 3 chairs which were small and very uncomfortable. very dusty. The rental of the dvd's were 100years old.
Review 24：sorry but i can't find one thing that i liked
Review 25：Bathroom old and needs thorough clean ie exhaust fan, very noisy hot water system woke me at 5am next door, kitchen could do with thorough clean and there was strong mould smell in drawers in kitchen. Just needs more detail to cleanliness. Security may be an issue; no fly wires on windows so couldn't leave open.
Review 26：Location, comfortable for my purposes.
Review 27：We were allocated an old unit which hasn't been refurbished yet. I wanted a broom and a mop to give it a clean before we used it. Some of it was bits of grass from our feet because it was raining, but I wanted to clean it anyway.
Review 28：When we had used our sugar sachets, they were happy to hand over more. There were 2 teabags, and we were staying for 3 days.
Review 29：A single light setup for the whole unit meant no reading/watching TV while the partner tried to sleep. A separate dim reading/TV light would be useful.
Review 30：Ensuite had recently been renovated and was very good. Appliances all clean, stove looked new/unused.
Review 31：I was disappointed to have no bedside light. The grounds were very basic.
Review 32：The accommodation was clean and well ordered. The welcome I was given was great. It was quiet, contributing to a good night's sleep. It was well equipped for self catering. The shower was hot with good pressure.
Review 33：The accommodation is not similar to photos provided and less space. All equipments need replace with new. More not working than working.
Review 34：The silence.no disturbance.cheerful guests
Review 35：This place is disgusting. Bathroom floors were filthy, the place is VERY old and run down. Unfortunately I was very sick and had no choice but to stay - if that was not the case I would have demanded my money back and gone elsewhere. Awful terrible experience.
Review 36：The only positive I can say is that the bedsheets were clean
Review 37：The pool was out of bound and water was dirty. The electric dryer needs 3 cycle to dry the clothes.
Review 38：Like the room space , the bathroom especially the bath tub and the heater towel rack.
Review 39：Cant think of anything
Review 40：The lady and man that greeted us were very friendly and informative the rooms were just enough very quiet and local to everywhere loved it will definetly be going back
Review 41：The rooms with dividing doors are not noise proof. Parts of the motel are old and could do with refurbishing. The parking can be difficult.
Review 42：Cheap tariff.
Review 43：The bed was very uncomfortable Ants Maybe a hob would have been abit helpful.
Review 44：The location convinient Man at reception very welcoming and had information for us.
Review 45：i needed help and the manager was so kind and thoughtful and helped meand also left my earrings behind and they found them for me all with a smile. it was very comforting and comfortable
Review 46：Owners are working on their maintenance and cleaning systems and if they can get on top of that they would get another half star
Review 47：Neat and clean and price was right
Review 48：Very old and in need of renovations. The room wasn't the cleanest and didn't have enough blankets. It was early spring and still cold at night. The heating system did work though.
Review 49：The room was a good size and had a kitchenette.
Review 50：The room had a very stale smell..... The curtains in the kitchen werevery dusty.The shower screen had a large crack through it. There was nooutside sette. Eg. 2 chairs and table....You can purchase from Kmart $50for the set & maybe a potplant at each door.... The fly wire doorkept slaming if you did not hold..The main door very hard to lock withkey and open(poor security).. In our opinion the whole place needs a bitof tlc...... Sorry, did not expect this for the cost of theaccomodation......God bless and thank-you Alan. Rita & Medgee. Room 23.
Review 51：The staff were very friendly & helpful.
Review 52：Older mattress sloped to one side. TV remote sticky taped together and didn't work. We had a family room with4 beds in. To fit these in the table and chairs were in the passage to the bathroom. 4 coffee sachets for 4 people for 2 nights - a bit stingy. We bought some coffee.
Review 53：Parking close to room.
Review 54：Not quite a walk away from the town or jetty but on the highway. Bit old decor.
Review 55：All basics covered for - spacious family room with hygiene, air conditioning and cutlery. Definitely gives what you pay for and comfortable for a quick stay.
Review 56：Noise of hotwater system bubbling away all night and the bed was totally worn out couldnt sleep with 2 people in double bed after 2 nights back problems
Review 57：position of motel
Review 58：The room we stayed in for 2 nights was big enough for a coupl,we found the room to be clean and tidy & the bed was comfortable. The outside needs a fresh coat of paint and a gardener to maintain the apperience. Other then that we had a good experience and the price was great want hesitate to stay there again.
Review 59：All great. :)
Review 60：Good location and quiet, the room was clean & comfortable. Staffs are very friendly & helpful. Perfect for short & long stay.
Review 61：The rooms were clean, tidy, spacious and it looked modern and recently refurbished. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen facilities were very good.
Review 62：No wifi (knew this before booking) Self contained kitchen was fairly bare (no frypan, sharp cutting knife or cooking utensils)
Review 63：Friendly staff, good value
Review 64：No Doona in the middle of winter ,1 sheet and 1 blanket is neither enough nor good enough.Not having 2 full rolls of toilet paper is also not good enough.A tiny bit of watered down dish washing to wash dishes is also not good enough.Very thin walls and next door people are easily heard aswell as housekeeping staff dusting cobwebs from my window and making up rooms
Review 65：Free parking,Friendly owners and not too far from the city,Room facilities are very good(Stove TV Oven Microwave,DVD Player,Kettle)
Review 66：No extra blankets and by the time we realised reception was closed. 3 electric heaters running all night and still cold in bed.
Review 67：For 120 a night for 2 adults and 2 kids in a 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen is the best value for money I've seen in a while.
Review 68：Actually my infant hit her head on sink and I asked from staff can I get ice or ice pack to put in to her head . But he said no ice , no ice pack. I was bit disappointed with reply as I didn't see any help with staff.
Review 69：For the price it has all facilities.
Review 70：The room we was a lil small compared to room we got last time. As the space between the bed n wall to go into kitchen area was very tiny. And the table next to bed it all felt a bit compact. N shower had no pressure.
Review 71：Unfortunately, the walk to McDonalds took me an hour and the ice in mycoke had melted by the time I got back. It was also raining, so therewere no babes at the pool.
Review 72：I travel a lot for work and I have stayed in a lot of dodgy motels -this place is not one of those. It was the bomb diggity. Hot damn. Icould have happily lived there for years. The facilities in my room wereoutstanding, with a full kitchen and great tv.
Review 73：The kettle got water scale and I can't make tea.
Review 74：Good location and nice staff ;) Thanks for letting us change the check in date as we wrongly booked. We do appreciate!
Review 75：The floor wasnt clean when we got inside for the first time. You can feel some dirty if you walk barefoot. There were cracks on the toilet sink and tiles missing on the floor. I also recommend that they put air freshener to that it would smell nice in the rooms and toilet.
Review 76：It is cheap and close to the locations for my holiday activities planned.
Review 77：We arrived literally 5 minutes late and apologised but the manager was very rude about it. Not a nice welcoming
Review 78：My boyfriend and I stayed in the double deluxe room. It's newly renovated so was very nice and clean and the bed was quite comfortable
Review 79：Water leaked into cupboard below basin in bathroom. Bathroom lacked rails/hooks for clothes/towels. No reading lights by bed - we brought our own. No wifi - this is expected these days. One free clean-up would have been nice in our 7 days' stay.
Review 80：Enabled us to have a good, inexpensive holiday in Busselton. Our unit - number 31- had been freshly painted/renovated. Fantastic shower.
Review 81：Parking was tricky, at one stage I couldn't get to my parking spot because cars were blocking where I needed to go
Review 82：Found the stay to be cosy & comfortable
Review 83：Nothing fancy from the outside.
Review 84：We received a renovated room with modern and neutral decor which had all the basics including a comfortable bed, tv and dvd player, bathroom with shower and toilet, wardrobe, small kitchen facilities and table and chairs. Very happy with the value for money!
Review 85：Shampoo was not included in the toiletries, and reception staff they said they don't provide any. Also room caters for four people, however there was not sufficient tea/coffee/milk (although extra was provided upon request). Floor a little dusty.
Review 86：Good value, comfy beds, convenient location. Decore of room was very nice, better than the pics advertised online.
Review 87：Easy to find. Central to busso. Stayed in one of the new rooms. Very nice and full of everything needed for a comfortable stay. Will most der book agaib
Review 88：No kitchen facilities in room ,it was called a family room! Room needed a good clean in the "kitchen area" no teaspoons, the fridge froze things and was very noisy. Needs some TLC around the whole hotel.
Review 89：Location was great for access to tourist attractions.
Review 90：It was awful. It was not anything like the picture. We did not get the room we booked or paid for. Place was dirty. Had 1 blanket per bed and that's all plus no spares. It says self contained, it had crockery and cutlery, toaster and kettle, microwave and a couple of serving spoons, tongs etc and that was it. It had 1 tiny saucepan and a very small frypan. Heaters did not work. Bugs everywhere. Window did not shut properly let alone lock. Fridge had 1 shelf and none in the door.
Review 91：The room was cramped and kitchen amenities were a tad spartan (fridge too small for our goods and a bathroom vanity in place of a proper sink). But I have to reiterate - very good value for money.
Review 92：The comfort and cleanliness of the place for the price we were paying was a very delightful surprise. A hidden gem to be sure.
Review 93：Stepping outside, the view behind the older units isn't appealing, long grass, flaky paint around windows
Review 94：It was beautifully clean, bed was comfortable
Review 95：Very run down the only sink is the vanity outside the bathroom next to what is a kitchen cupboard 1 Chair dining for a family room is not except able only 1 lamp above single bed worked no others the room smelt like urine once the windows were closed and cockroaches are breeding everywhere
Review 96：Fridge sounded like it was going to take off..ended up turning it off as it was so loud and being basically next to the bed..l couldn't sleep No fly screen on window, so couldn't have it open Front flyscreen door did not latch so was banging all night with the windbed lights didn't work No cover in the swimming pool area No chairs/seats in the pool area
Review 97：Nothing
Review 98：Bloke in office is a wanker. First room we got given was so disgusting I still can't believe they rent it out. ( and I'd booked the luxury room)
Review 99：Comfy beds & location
Review 100：The fridge in the the deluxe room smelled so bad we could not even open it,had to use small rooms. Bathrooms need updating and don't like spiderwebs.
Review 101：Liked the location and the setup of the rooms
Review 102：The walls were paper thin so we could hear everything in the room next door. Also the bed was pretty hard.
Review 103：The cheap price reflected the level of accommodation so didn't expect any more than what we got. The room was just ok and there was even hot and cold running water ; )
Review 104：1) No hot water in showers and luke warm water in bathroom 2) electric shock when touching hot water taps 3) Cockroaches in Kitchen 4) lack of kitchen utensils 5) looks old and unkept
Review 105：Our room was a tad on the small side - wasn't a problem for us for one night, but if we were staying longer or had more luggage we might have found it rather cramped.
Review 106：Friendly cheerful greeting on arrival, AND an upgrade from the standard room that we had booked - YAY! Good bathroom and excellent shower, well-equipped kitchen,comfy bed - everything we needed. Great value. Would stay here again.
Review 107：The outside looks terrible. The people next to us parked right outside our window and woke us up in the morning.
Review 108：The room was fantastic, queen bed and comfortable bed. Tv, fridge all good
Review 109：Blow dyer didn't work and had to ask for an iron and ironing board. Front appearance didn't look very nice
Review 110：The first appearance of the room when we entered was very pleasant, almost like a hotel style bed set up. Loved the bath and shower head!
Review 111：Having to wash the dishes to make a cup of coffee. It should be up to the management to make sure utensils, cups etc are clean, not left up to the previous guests. Also the tea towel looked grotty and the shower curtain needed a wash.
Review 112：The bed was clean and comfortable, and the air conditioner was quiet and effective.
Review 113：Could be better to give a discount for 60 yrs. and above. They should be rewarded for their contributions, moreover most will have no income and depended on their retirement fund.
Review 114：Gave us a good impression with the friendliness of the staff and everything is done on an informal way (we like it) ie: no such policy like (1) no alcohol in the room, (2) not allow to park your car in front of your room, (3) auditing the utensils and towels before check-out and etc.
Review 115：only getting one pillow per person, one sugar one tea bag one coffee on mikk pod ect . not sure the pump was on in the pool area. there was loads of insects floating in the water . not sure why there are grown children not in school, living in a motel there. very sad looking state of affairs. seems to be a place for long term accommodation for crack heads js the air con has two modes. off and artic
Review 116：the price was fair and the location was awesome
Review 117：I liked the cheerful, helpful staff and the affordability for an aged pensioner such as myself. Enjoyed cooling off in the swimming pool after cycling along the coast.
Review 118：You could here a little bit of noise from my neighbour but nothing major.
Review 119：I got one of the newer rooms, very simple but new and clean and all I was after.
Review 120：as a self-service motel, the cooking stuff is a little bit limited.
Review 121：The staff is kind and helpful - actually everyone I met in W.A is kind and friendly. The bed is not too soft which is comfortable to me as I feel tired sleeping in a soft bed.
Review 122：A little more attention to small things when cleaning like dusting cobwebs and cleaning exhaust fans once and a while.
Review 123：Value for money, manager was helpful and nice. We were in the new section which was very comfortable.
Review 124：The common areas such as the garden and the playground look really untidy, with dirt (dry leaves, cigarets butts) and old stuff like chairs and tables thrown in a corner. The outside wall of the accommodations definitely need a paint and a spider treatment. Inside, the old green carpet stinks. Part of the furniture were broken (bedside desk, wall lamp, fly net on the window). Turning the hot and cold water handles in the shower we all 4 had the sensation that POWER was running through the metal: not good if you think you are having a shower! In the second room the mattresses of the single beds were so soft that when you sit you could feel the base. Definitely, even if this accommodation is probably one of the cheaper in the area, it is not worth to spend even that small amount.
Review 125：The position of the motel is convenient to explore the area. The man at the reception was really nice.
Review 126：Plenty of parking in front of unit if other guests angle parked as requested by staff on check in. Would not have liked being in the old units
Review 127：Location to town. room was clean but unit was brand new.
Review 128：The fact that the kitchen was crawling with cockroaches, toaster needed cleaning and bed was very uncomfortable.
Review 129：The pool was the only good thing it had
Review 130：For a unit with a kitchen there was very little cooking equipment. We had to buy a frying pan, which we left there.
Review 131：It was like walking into my home from the 1950s.
Review 132：Physical property lacked polish, but.... everything was clean and comfortable. No kitchen sink for a family room seemed a bit rough.
Review 133：Great value Good location Lovely service
Review 134：my only dislike is that the bathroom cabinet in the bathroom is far too close to the sink making it awkward to clean your teeth as it is impossible to get the whole of your face over the sink. suggest moving it on to the opposite wall along side the door.
Review 135：the motel is central for town center and trips to dunsborough and the south west.
Review 136：Had an issue with the shower not draining properly but lovely staff grateful for info ... Previous occupants had not passed on the fault. Shower itself was good.
Review 137：Love the fact I can have my 2 children in same room as me and none of us have to share a bed ! Staff were lovely. Solid accommodation that was clean and the good sized space was really appreciated. Beds were comfy and facilities worked well for us.
