- Bruce (5/5): Alright for what we needed but needs a lot of work - Spacious and quiet Carpet was very dirty with stains everywhere. Bathroom cabinet needs replacing. Curtains were dirty
- Bruce (5/5): -
- Dean (8/5): - Clean room, good bed ,easy access/parking Not many facilities, fridge was so high milk was frozen
- Perry (7/5): Decent enough for the cost, great bed. - Nice and clean Shower head needs fixing and the arm that supports it needs replacing. Cold tap also needs attention in the shower
- Shar (4/5): Only Once. - The location was good, as I didn't want to go any further into the city And there was ample parking available. The room wasn't very secure as it was adjoining with the next room, no locks on the door only a door stop was the means to not open the door, The rooms walls must be thin as the noise from the next room was evident, early morning noise from the people in the next room. The stains on the carpet, were not recent, The coffee cups to make a cuppa were not clean, and still had teaspoons in the cups. The complimentary coffee and tea were not refilled as selection was next to none. My room was on the second level, which was ok, but the chair for smokers was located outside my room and as I don't smoke the persons who did, the smell was coming in under the door. The shower taps were banging , no matter how slow I tried to turn the water on. And the other tap squealing all the time the water was running, And on arrival the office was locked although I arrived around 2.30pm.. Just needs a good clean and a few padlocks for the doors.

- Ann marie (6/5): Won’t stay there again - Great position to stay when travelling next day The queen bed was horrible. Felt like straw was in the mattress. The sheets were noisy when turning over. Got into single bed, that was comfortable . The outdoor seating was not able to be used. Huge tear marks through the cushion. Outdated deco . For the money $170 .00. Certainly would not recommend the motel
- David (2/5): Awful - Not much Overall it in a poor state. Bed is old & uncomfortable; a number of things are in poor repair or broken, e.g. chair has holes in it, soap dispenser fell apart; old soap holder is broken.
- Man Bahadur Khatri (8/5): - The size of room and service Bed was big and quite nice but I was not comfortable with the mattress, I din't had that much good sleep overnight and I think it's because of mattress otherwise everything was very good inside and outside room.

- Warren (4/5): Thanks, but No Thanks. - Carpet was old and looked rough and dirty Carpet was old and looked rough and dirty. Traffic on main road quite noisy. No toilet Paper, tissue paper instead. 2 single beds pushed together to form a queen size bed, mattresses were quite worn out from very long term use...foot end of the bed was higher than the top side. Bathroom windows sealed shut without ventilation besides the extraction fan above the shower.

Not only that your company is at fault for the way your page is false information and still kept my money rip off of the year goes to you

- Janet (6/5): - We were first given a room that was absolutely vile, water damaged furniture, grubby, dusty. a health hazard. not fit for purpose. then after complaining was offered to see a different room. on the ground floor which was clean, newly renovated and fine for our stay. The tiny court yard garden was still a mess with the aftermath of the renos. If you book here ask to see the room before you pay or agree to stay.
- Maninder (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chris (4/5): Will not be looking to stay here in the future. - Convenient for the location I need to be. Very noisy not just from the traffic. Others in nearby rooms. Lots of light in the room at night was difficult to prevent with no switch for the balcony lighting. Shower head leaked water. Water pressure okay once hot. TV remote did not turn unit on or off. Room door quite difficult to open and close with bags to carry .
