Blue Hills Motel

The location is fabulous, easy walk to Salamanca markets, restaurants, cafe’s and the docks.|At first glance the place looks like a dodgy drug retreat. I was apprehensive to even go inside. |If you have a car, get in early as there are very limited car spots. Reception is only open 9-5, no staff after these times. |We were located on the second floor. Not suitable for anyone that has trouble with stairs as there is no lift. |Inside the room had been renovated and was pleasant enough. We needed to go to reception and ask for extra pillows as we only had one each and they were flat. No extra linen in the cupboard . |The bed was comfortable and sheets were clean. |The room has no smoke alarm which I think may be illegal. |In the cupboard there was coffee, tea ect.. The fridge had a tiny milk carton. |The window in our room faced directly into the next room and we could clearly see the couple in the next room. We had to close the blinds.|No fan, no air-con, no heating and no electric blankets. |The bathroom had been renovated however, the shower water goes all over the bathroom floor and could be a disaster if someone slips. |It’s not a bad place to stay if it’s just for one night.|If you need to stay for more than one night, spend a few extra dollars and go somewhere else.

Cons: Toilet leaking Tiles broken Unsecured and uneven flooring Broken soap dish (in tight space shower) Loose fitting tap in sink Window in bedroom would not secure closed Toilet paper not supplied Only 1 blanket supplied (twin room) No teaspoons supplied No response to emails, once stay commenced Loose carpet in hallways, trip hazards Poorly fitted key, struggle to unlock door Limited parking (not enough for amount of rooms) Bed was on wheels (would not lock into place) Reception not open stated hours Absent light bulbs around room No lock on bathroom door Pros: Views were nice on one side Beds were were comfortable enough Good location We attempted to contact and obtain missing items, then all let them know of safety issues. Never received a response.

Great location. Shower didn't drain well. Roof was leaking during the rain, there was a patch on the roof but it was still leaking. Fairly run down.

Good location. BUT, and it's a big but. Threadbare, dirty carpets. Exposed electrical wires hanging above curtain. No toiletry shelf in shower or bathroom. No towel rails. PowerPoint behind pillow and no bedhead. Light switch next shower curtain. Air conditioning and heating provided by small plug-in fan and oil heater. Hole in the wall behind the pillow.

Comfortable and clean. Good sized rooms. Very quiet. Parking first come first served. No working fan in the bathroom. Fridge, heater, kettle, hair dryer. Great view.

This place is a bio hazard! Absolutely disgusting. Bloody on tiles, hair every and mould. Toothpaste over taps and wash basin and grime over tiles. Unidentified brown marks over bed head and bedside table. I have never seen a room so disgusting! Reception extremely unhelpful and internal stairs are a safety hazard due to torn old carpet. Window lock broken so sso it wouldn't shut either

Place should be condemned and pulled down. Balcony and stairwells are unsafe and illegal. The room is nothing like the images advertised online. Holes in walls and bare electrical wires exposed. Huge waste of money. I wouldn’t stay there if it was for free. I would not recommend the room, even to the homeless.

Hot water doesn't work consistently, didn't work at all on the last morning. Rooms dirty, definitely need shoes on at all times. But then again it's cheap so...
