This property is aged but still OK for us. Spacious space for our family traveling with 2 kids. Happy with the facilities for cooking, but bathroom is bit too simple. Upstairs floor was creaking frequently, was not sound proof, and we were living at front, traffic was loud. There was communication problem/misunderstanding with our booking, and we were told about it upon arrival, I have used other online booking sites, this is the first time I experienced. It would be much appreciated If the property management informed us before. I am not sure this Expedia problem or the motel’s.

The property was in poor condition, with cracks in the walls and tired paintwork. It needed a complete renovation to make it attractive. Worst of all was the very poor lighting. Old style bulbs of low wattage provided insufficient lighting. The owner needs to fit new LCD light bulbs throughout. Also there was only 3 bedside lamps for 5 beds and these provided insufficient light to tead with.

We enjoyed our stay at Woodlands Motels. The only thing that we did not enjoy was that the bed was old and worn out. I kept rolling into my husband. The hotel is in a great location. The area is older but has lots of charm. It is nice to have laundry available, a great kitchen that even has a French press coffee maker, Wi-Fi and a television. The hotel is situated in a good location that is easily accessible to the University, museums, food, the city botanical garden is also near by.

Woodlands is a mixed bag
Woodlands is a mixed bag and you get what you pay for. Be aware there is a huge difference between the standard and superior rooms. The location is great, walking distance to the muesum and town and despite being on one of the main roads the setting is reasonably quite. Staff were friendly and helpful and the small kids play area was a bonus. We stayed 4 nights in a standard two bedroom unit. It was completely liveable and had everything we needed, however as others have said was musty, dated and in need of renovation. On the third night our door lock jammed, we got the manager and the door-nob literally fell off in his hand! After a bit of work the nob was back on and the door opened and we were then shifted to a superior one bed unit for our last night. The manager was very apologetic and said maintenance would be in on Monday to replace the lock so it doesn't happen to anyone else. The difference in units was night and day. The superior unit had been fully renovated and was amazing, no issues at all. If we'd been in this unit the whole time it would be hard to understand some of the feedback this place has. We could see another unit being renovated, which is great. I guess it all takes time and money. Would we stay there again? Yes, 100%, am I going to be expecting the Hilton, No.

While the property itself was clean and tidy , the room that we stayed in was in terrible condition. The terrible black mould smell from the bathroom and the rot around bedroom left our clothes smelling terrible . Definitely needs a lot of maintenance and shouldn’t be letting out until this is done in my opinion.

Had a back unit so was very quiet, no street noise. Good price for two bedrooms and spacious. Bathroom area desperately needs doing up doing up but rest of unit and kitchen had been. Except sofa needs replacing, very uncomfortable. Had to use chairs. Good location and parking.
