Woman who answers the bell very keen to help and pleasant, but never in the office.

Luckily I could upgrade for an extra $10 to a 1 bedroom unit downstairs.
Whilst this unit was adequate for a nights stay there were a few things that did need attention to detail, the unit had a musty smell throughout despite all the windows being open. The unit was full of bugs, namely quite a few flies, a big black hairy spider in the bathroom, moths and creepy crawlies. In fact there were a lot more bugs in this unit than what I had in my bungalows right on the beach that I had in Rarotonga and Aitutaki in November last year!
The interesting thing to note was that upon seeing all the bugs we went out and bought fly spray from countdown then discovered the 2 people in the other unit had gone and done exactly the same thing we did. There was a light switch in the bedroom above the bed barely hanging there the wires were exposed & there was a dark brown almost black spill in the freezer not cleaned up. Cobwebs behind the bed which my hand found when I needed to plug in the lamp. The mirror in the lounge had greasy little fingerprints on it & the shower controls were the total opposite of what the dial stated.
Our dining table that we had was best suited outside since it was an outside dining table white with four white chairs.
On the positive side this place was quiet, walking distance to a side street which lead to the beach, the bed was comfy and it had a really nice duvet cover on it which I never used as the unit was very hot inside. The place has been tastefully decorated with nice pieces of furniture the shower had reasonably good pressure and we had more than enough wifi for our purposes.
As a way of attracting more business, repeat customers and better feedback I would suggest to the owners of Anchor Motor Lodge that it would be a great idea to install either fans or air conditioning units in the units along with automatic bug spray dispensers.
Had asked for a cot as we were travelling with an 18 month old and on arrival were told it was broken.
Wifi was fine although passwords were only active for 30mins.
Location is good as it's minutes from the beach.

Been here 5 nights and had to ask them to clean the unit as well as get clean towels. The only reason we got those was because I put the dirty ones outside the front door.
Customer service negligible. Oh, and don't ask for a facecloth or handtowel, they're just not provided.
As of writing this, our unit still hasn't been cleaned!
