Negative Reviews
negative:
A Bit Grubby.
Some guests thought the Owston Hotel could use a good spring clean. They reported dirty carpets, tattered shower curtains, dust and mould. Thin and sagging mattresses, some with springs poking through, less than adequate showers and doors that didn’t lock properly caused some guests to say they wouldn’t be back. The TVs in the rooms are overdue for retirement according to some guests, others complained that the remotes were grubby and didn’t work properly.
negative:
Wi-Fi Non Existent.
Wi-Fi access at the Owston Motel was weak to non-existent according to many guests who reported that the staff seemed unable, or unwilling to resolve the problem.
negative:
Dark & Dim.
The Owston Hotel is in a rural setting which is very dark at night and some guests thought it could use more outside lighting or sensor lights. Some said they had to use the light from mobile phone screens to see where they were going. Guests also complained that the motel’s sign is poorly lit and difficult to see from the road.
