Downs Motel

Was so thankful to have the manager find me accommodation when I arrived a night early due to a mistake made by me when booking. He was so friendly and caring.

Room needs some minor repairs but nothing that made it uncomfortable. Surrounded by food and drink. Great place. Boss man could not have any friendlier.

Room # 5 (one of three economy rooms, cheap and nasty) - I took my socks off and the carpet was sticky! Obviously the staff are cleaning the rooms with their shoes on otherwise they'd feel it too. Staff also knocked on my door just after 9AM 'to see if I was still there' even though the instructions are to put your key in the key box when you leave so they can commence cleaning then! Got stuck in the bathroom briefly because the sliding door just got stuck. It wasn't value for money at all. I paid about $ 112 for each night. I had significant amount of rubbish but there was no council sized bins around that I could see. Only a small tiny bin in the room. There was nothing in the fridge besides a unbranded glass jar that read on a label made by a label maker "fresh milk". No ice tray, no anything! The fridge also needed defrosting. Everything worked but didn't work well. There was only one bathmat, one face washer and one hand towel but two towels. Made no sense. I asked for a non smoking room and a high room. I got a room with a no smoking sticker on the window but out of all the roofs, mine was the only one with a beautiful big fat ash tray on the trouble outside my door and I never got a high room, ground floor it was. Wouldn't recommend the motel to anyone.

Clean comfy and quiet. What else could you want?
