Om arrival we were greeted by a locked reception area with a note telling us to ring a number to retrieve our key from a lock box on entering the room it was tidy enough but there were hardly any utensils so I emailed the establishment asking for two forks and the wifi password as there was no instructions left about jow to connect to the "free" wifi it was suffice for wat we needed for our 3 day stay Bed(comfy) Shower(excellent!) I appreciated the fact they placed us in a ground level room but over our two night stay we had very loud people above us Also we were out of our room for a whole day from 11am but there was no cleaning done to our room they decided to come while we were in our room and asked did we need anything? I says yes clean towels pls and our rubbish needs removing So I guess for a cheap room it was suffice and basic

Website needs updating, stuff listed on there was not in the room eg. Iron and ironing board in every room and we had to ask for one. Noisy shower pipework. No handle on shower door. Mirrors all smeared and greasy, couldn't see in them clearly, as was the shower glass. For a five bed room there were only two eating bowls and four plates. Crockery and cutlery needed cleaning before using. Stove top rusted through. Fridge wobbly only had three feet. Noisy stairs. Needs more lounge seating, two person couch for a five bed room. Walls were filthy and need painting. Light shade over lounge area dusty as. Service poor, reception never maned, doorbell and phone outside reception don't work. Could smell cigarette smoke in our room from others smoking. Soap dispenser in bathroom didn't work or the ones in the shower. Can see where a washing machines been removed, all plumbing still visible. Wouldn't recommend this motor inn to anyone to stay at.

I didn't like outside the window looking down at rubbish and old rubbish looking bicycle or the water damage that looks like it is getting moldy in the bathroom. The wallpaper on the other side looked water stained. The TV kept lagging and cutting out. The bed was comfy though.

Property was very out dated - unfortunately the room hadn’t been vacuumed and the smell of previous people’s cooking left the room stinky.

Ok for cheap accomodation. We were disappointed that there wasnt a restaurant/bar onsite as advertised and we had to find a restaurant for dinner instead, although found an amazing italian restaurant 15min walk from the motel. Staff rating only marked as average as reception was unattended when we came back as room wasn't quite ready when we first arrived and had to use phone to ring number to get key off cleaning staff member who didnt speak much english, so couldn't answer any of our questions. Main receptionist was nice and helpful though.

The accomodation was average. The whole place looked a little run down and tired. While they claimed to have Reception open until 9pm it was closed. Had to phone a number which then told me I had phoned out of hours and to phone again between 9am and 9pm. It was 7pm ?? I wouldn't stay here again.

Housing crisis and the guarantee of government $
Staying at the champers was nothing like what it used to be.. the champers used to be where people would stay for holidays and for work, but now, I have nothing against it, but it's all homeless people and family's.. I get everyone needs somewhere to say and I definitely don't want family's living in cars, but, as a privately paying customer, I think the motels have gotten used to getting top dollar for every room with no effort because of our homeless crisis so the effort has gone. these customers are so grateful for just a roof over their heads and have little other choice.. I don't know what motels are going to do once the housing crisis is over because customers will go back to having a choice.. In summary, you get what you pay for and we just needed one night but it wasn't exactly clean and we didn't exactly feel super welcome.. but I get it. I was very, very grateful that the error I made with the booking date was able to be fixed up but that was a hotels.com thing, not a champers motel thing.. motels used to be so nice with other holiday makers etc and is why I did prefer motels to hotels but I think it'll be the last motel I stay at for a while
