Miners Lodge Motor Inn

Staff were really lovely, my room was clean and it was in a very convenient location.

All liquid dispensers in the shower were empty. Neither bedside lights were plugged in because the power outlet was adjacent to ones head in the bed. Anything placed on bedside table would stick to it. There was a band aid stuck to the bed quilt.

Lodge needs urgent upgrade Frankly this was the worst motel we have stayed in for over 20 years. The only thong to it's favour was the friendliness of receptionist, Chris. No room service, bathroom door could not be closed due to rusted door frame. No proper maintenance has been carried out for many years. While present air conditioner worked well but the old rattler unit was still in place and the front panel fell off when I touched it.. Soap dispensers were useless and the only functional unit had not been refilled. Shower recesses are tiny and there was nowhere to put my soap. Remains of old attachments have not been repaired or removed. Water damage in the bathroom not repaired and paint blistering off. Chairs had bent legs which is a safety hazard - could be eaily fixed by bending the legs back to normal.. I must admit that the old refrigerator worked well but was a bit rusty. Another small plus was that the sheets were clean although I could not sleep with the over-firm pillow. My wife's vie of the two units we used was that it was "pretty tacky".

I appreciate the manager's help in making things right, but the room was unsuitable. I understand cockroaches are a reality for NQ, but having multiple in the room simultaneously is not good.

Check in was very good with very friendly and helpful staff. The room needs maintenance, working and connected lamps, one was broken.

It is clean and basic. I was put in a room with no parking. The airport is not far away and the noise of the planes was a bit annoying. The office was locked most of the time and I was unable to speak to the staff about any of my issues.
