Appartamenti a Geraldine

We booked into this motel because it was an ”Asure” and the motel chain had a promotion going during our 4 week South Island tour. We paid $154.00 for a one night stay. It was all a bit average on the inside so not that memorable. The kitchen cooking utensils were motel average poor quality. Not sure it deserves a 4 star rating. The main problem though was..... on first entry into the bathroom all I could smell was ”urine”. I mean it was strong! I was so disappointed as the bathroom looked clean and tidy but where was the pong coming from?. Then I spotted the base of the toilet where it connects to the lino/tile (cant remember which it was). All around the base was a dirty brown colouring (eeeew) and no sealant. This is where the hideous smell is coming from.... years and years of scum going down into this crack. I was too embarassed to tell the owners, we left as soon as possible the next morning. I dont remember the room number but it was the one at the end of the right hand building up against the bank at the back of the property. As an architectural designer I suggest pulling out the toilet and flooring and either thoroughly cleaning the area (scraping off scum), or replacing it all. Then.....make sure you put sealant like silicone, all around the bottom of the toilet, ensuring that your cleaners dont damage it when they clean. Also, I used the laundry and my black clothes came out covered in white powder. Giant Motel commercial laundry machines and driers are just too basic and harsh for new clothing.
