Aspen Manor Motel

I honestly cannot recall a motel that has been worse than this. Where do I start? Would it be the dirty toilet? No, that was minor. Would it be the door mat at the front of the unit filled with cigaretter butts? Perhaps! Would it be the smoke detectors - lying either on the mircowave or in a cabinet, sans batteries, and not on their ceiling mounts? Should it be the dead ants in the bath? Perhaps. Maybe more relevant would be the infestation of ants along almost all of the skirting boards Perhaps it would be the almost indifference of the management to these issues? Would it be the lack of air conditioning? Surely not since there was a fan in the unit. The fan makes more noise than a 747 during take-off? I have travelled extensively, and I honestly cannot recall a motel that has been worse then this in terms of cleanliness, responsivitiy of management, simple utilities (i.e. a reasonably working fan) or insect infestation. If I was paying $20 in a remote outpost somewhere, then perhaps this would be tolerable. But this is the most awful hotel experience that I have ever had

Probably the worst place I've ever seen. Should be closed down. Where do I start: - Room stank - heater tagged with grafitti - ants crawling across bench top - "furniture" tagged with grafitti - Basin in bathroom did not drain - toilet actually had poo stains around the bottom and looked like it hadn't been cleaned - the elements on the stove top had baked in burnt food in it - grafitti all on the outside fences I could probably name a few more things but seriously this place is a disgrace. I left.

The TV was broken, the shower sprayed more water on the ceiling than it did on my body, the window catches were all broken, the basin was rusted, the door handle to the toilet was broken as was the one into the bathroom, and the phone I was told to use if there were any problems was missing. There was no one on reception when I checked in nor when I checked out (nor when I went to complain). I’ve been told the place was used for social housing. I feel sorry for the people who had to stay here - what a dump!

This is so unbelievable. Me and my mother have come here to stay for 2 nights. We have travelled 6 hours to get here for a funeral. This is absolutely disgusting we have ants everywhere, other peoples hair around the place. Dirty stain sheets. We have called reception to get someone to place gib board back into the ceiling as a very cold breeze is coming through into my mothers room, reception said they were going to get “in contact” with the manager and call me back. I’ve tried to call the reception twice since we called and complained no one has come to help. What a disgrace to call a motel and such unhelpful staff. We arrived late so we have no place else to go but will NOT be staying here again tomorrow night and will be getting a refund. $240 a night what a rip off. I’m all itchy this place is so disgusting. PLEASE READ ALL THE REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING!!!

DO NOT BOOK. WE WERE BOOKED BY OTHERS SO DID NOT CHECK THE REVIEW. SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN. Middle of winter - no blankets on bed just a thin duvet. Stained pillows. No hot water in shower which dripped all night. Not even teaspoons in the kitchen. Could go on but will just say ditto to all the previous reviews.
