Terrible. We actually wondered if this has been used for cooking P. Had a very distinctive, sour chemical smell and we had bad headaches. Place felt like it needed a very good clean, and was very shabby and tired. Good sized rooms and well located. The pool wasn't really useable - apparently they tried to limit numbers so you had to ask permission to use it - but it looked filthy so we avoided it. Not a great place to stay as a family and wouldn't recommend it to women travelling alone. Wondered if it was being used for emergency housing. Expensive and wouldn't stay here again.

The room was the right size for my needs. The service at the front counter was very professional and polite. The service staff were very polite and efficient. Highly recommended this motel

We particlarly enjoyed the spaciousness of our room and the comfortable kingsize bed. Great shower too. We had chosen Dilomat for is proximity to Southern Eye Hospital so the above factors were definitely a bonus

First time we've EVER booked in, unpacked car then left!! Unit 16, two bedroom unit, cheap at $120 night but no thanks!! It was freezing cold with every window open even though it was raining, toilet bowl was so stained, shower was filthy, TV unit super dusty, the leather couch was filled with dust in the creases etc! Should have trusted my gut when booking as that was super painful. I know English isn't the ladies first language but when I was asking the price she kept giving me my phone number!! Plus kept getting night we were staying wrong etc. Super weird.
