City Beach Motel

The worst motel we have ever stayed in. It was dirty. Blood stains on the coverlet. The shower is above the spa and because of the design of the spa the footing was uneven and dangerous. There is no lift and entry to our floor was via a outside stairway and apart from being exposed to the rain it was also slippery and dangerous. Part of the stairway didn't even have a railing. Cleanliness is also a feature with cockroaches scuttling around the bathroom at night. It is very noisy with yahoos speeding around. Mattress was okay but only a few rocklike pillows. It made the fabled Fawlty Towers look like a palace. Never again, it doesn't matter where but not this dump. It would best knocked down and redeveloped. Only bright light was a charming and helpful couple running it.

The nearby beach is beautiful and the most positive aspect, but the location is otherwise very loud, being a main street. The doona looked old and possibly dirty. I do hope they wash it after every guest. The receptionist/manager was often not in the office, was not helpful with info and looked quite uninterested . There were no brochures about the place anywhere either.
