Sandpiper Motel 2 days stay
Overall is good with my 2 days stay, the bed is very comfortable. Comes with portable warmer.
The unpleasant part was, when I flipped up the sofa cushion. I found used tissues, crumbs from chips and nuts.The sofa do have a something like urine smell too. I reported the next morning when I happened to meet a lady w/o uniform near the reception area. Fortunately, when we are back in the evening. They managed to clean it up.

A last minute decision to book a room meant the unstaffed reception desk was not expecting us, but a phone-call, 'How to ...' SMSd reply & very helpful laundry worker meant we still had a very comfortable stay. Trouble with the TV was also promptly resolved, in person.

Easy to find, room was quite small and lacked the basics, no reception area, picked up key in an envelope. No bench top and no plates to use to make toast. The small window by the door let a lot of light in, so the room wasn’t as dark as it should have been. Shower pressure was good.

Bathroom heating was nice after getting out of the shower. Check in was easy and well explained in email.
Would have been nice to have outdoor lights as quite dark when came back from an evening outing and left at 06:00 am next day
Would have been nice to have someone to ask or have breakfast times posted

Clean, quiet, convenient location for touring GOR. Nothing fancy. Easy self check in and out. Only provided 1 hand towel and 1 wash cloth. Would be nice to have 2 of each. Seems to be a thing in Australia.

Missing attention to detail. No dinner plates, 1 knife, 2 forks. There’s a microwave but nothing to cook anything on.
