Local Motel
A refreshing change from previous place I had been regularly using. Easy access, with good parking. Short walking distance from mall with good bars and restaurants. Unfortunately had a room with a dodgy heater (lucky it wasn't too cold). Manager was helpful

Disappointed that when I booked the motel it came up on Expedia as 100, but then charged 170? The motel was expensive for what it was, the room smelt a bit damp, and there was a lot of traffic noise.

Clean, good size rooms
Large room with a comfortable big bed. Shopping within walking distance. Very clean and tidy. In a quiet area, but a lot of noise late at night from other guests outside their rooms smoking and socialising. Expensive considering the location, but it was close to the retirement village where my mother lives.

Close to Botany town centre
Free parking, free milk, tea & coffee, a reasonable size of room, the staff offered us a ground level room (so that we didn’t need to take stairs with heavy luggage) and free WiFi access - awesome The fridge and heater were a bit noisy, furniture was slightly old fashioned

Just missing a few things...
Looked like decent motel online (similar name to one just down the road too) and it was nice, but missing a few things... like air con, for the hot nights I was there. Not enough parking, so I had to do laps of local streets to find one. Had small fold out windows I had to open as it was so warm in the room, which thanks to people checking out at 3am and 5am made for a restless night. Also weird my room had no wet towel rail or hangers. Older well used mattress and a shower head that leaked badly was enough for me in the end. Staff are nice, but there are lots of other motels to choose from, find a better one in your search.
