Truly a budget location - swim pool non existent.

Truly a Budget motel- rooms are small with minimal furniture. Combined bathroom / toilet even smaller. Current photograph of swimming pool area most likely taken when motel originally opened - now water is putrid and surrounds overgrown with weeds. The positives - staff are pleasant & helpful whilst room was clean & tidy.

I was upset due to the fact they had no pool but on the website here it said they had a pool… I stayed for 2 nights and both days the day was nice. Would of love to go for a swim.. I ask one of the staff what happened and they said they have been tiring to get the pool taken off the website for the last 6 months..

We got put in the derelict area as told my reception. It stunk, the single bed was for a child not adult. My feet were hanging off the end of the bed. Very very aged. Room had a tv but no remote. Very old towels. Just too old and place needs a huge injection of money to renovate.

We had issue of booking overlap, so did not get the room we booked. Don't know how that happened. We got the lower room instead. Staff at reception was cooperative and accommodate to lower room with different rate of $120. Initially very upset but later on ok stay. Would request to Expedia and motel to ensure such thing should not happen as it can ruin someone's holidays

It was close to Pubs and Clubs. When we went for a shower,we were sprayed with water outside the shower as the shower rose, was split and kept in place with a cable ti. The TV remote had the battery cover missing and the battery kept moving. When you tried to turn it on, a message come on the screen NO Signal CHECK cable connection. The Dirty comment was in regards to cob webs and the shower cubicle, and bathroom floor with scum around the edges of the tiles where it met the floor.

Merimbula stay

It was a bed and a shower while staying in the area. Rooms are in need of a decent renovation, furniture needs updating, the freezer in our room hadn't been defrosted for quite some time and the people before us had left a message on the mirror suggesting it be cleaned properly.
