보틀 트리 가든 모텔

Worst room I’ve stayed in over 18 years travelling as a rep. Room wasn’t like picture, couldn’t swing a cat in room. Bed covers were gross and dirty, other people’s hair under covers. No sheets, started to itch all night. Could hear guests next door talking all night, the male had the loudest snore I’ve ever heard, a few times I thought he died, but no off it stated again, place should be shut down. Your better off sleeping under a tarp in a park.

Neighbours really loud, kept me up until 5.00 am, which is when my alarm went off. Apart from that the room was great, the owner was friendly

The motel was clean and tidy with friendly staff and close to shops.

The walls were very thin. The bathroom ND TOILET TINY.

When I was looking for a few nights to stay, I saw that 22 on Bowen had equal numbers of good and poor reviews. From the outside, all the rooms looked similar. Roma can be difficult to get accommodation at short notice. This motel is conveniently located - easy walking distance to shops, fuel and eating places, and easy to find for travellers. The room was very compact, yet enough for my needs. Two people would probably want more space. The steps and screen door are a little hazardous if you're carrying anything bulky. Facilities are good for self-caterers - good fridge size, microwave, toaster, jug. The bed was a bit spongey (you could feel the springs) but OK for sleep. The bathroom area is small but adequate. I have to mark down the motel for cleanliness: (1) dirty microwave - I had to clean away old crusted food. (2) Unwashed crockery. (3) Abandoned food in the back of the fridge. (4) Stained bedspread and blanket. (5) Cockroaches (Tip: cover all the floor drains before you go to bed.)

There are three timber steps up to the room we were in. There was a rail for safety, however the screen door opened onto this safety rail preventing access to it. It made it really dangerous to go up these timber step ladder like stairs. I am 80 years old and a lot of travellers are ageing people. Please use commen sense and fix this and have the screen doors open to the other side, otherwise anyone having a fall will have a strong case for lack of safety.
