Was ok for the price. Blinds dusty, moved the side table and there was dust/dirt and an old sock under. Hair and dirt in corner of bathroom & mold in shower needs cleaning. The beds were good with lots of pillows. Good to have a microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge with a big bench. Good location, short walk to tram and restaurants. Lots of roadworks out front and up the street. This is a good spot if you are going out and need a place to sleep no frills.

You have to try and find the back way into the property as roadworks have closed of the front entrance. Also there are roadworks all night. I would not have booked if I knew this information

Stayed on top storey. Stairs felt unsafe. Ripped carpet a safety hazard in room. Office closed a lot and staff difficult to understand. Construction nearby not the motel's fault.

Property was in a great location! Walking distance to Pacific Fair, Train Station, Casino, Draculas and much more. Easy parking there, though there isn’t a lot of it. If you aren’t driving though, they’re a Train Station very close to take you to where ever you’d like to go. If you’re going for an event like a NRL game or something highly recommended just taking a train or bus. Only downside at the time of our stay was that they were building a new apartment complex right new door, with construction working through the night. Didn’t really hear it for the most part but could be loud from time to time.

You get what you pay for
I left the hotel after 10 mins. An old shopping trolley was blocking the door. The fridge looked like it should have been replaced 5 years ago. The included ear plugs was a nice touch but i guess that means it was going to be a loud night. I cut my losses and booked a different hotel so didn’t actually end up sleeping the night.

Night roadworks kept us awake until 2am. When this noise stopped, a couple staying in the room next to us started having a domestic dispute which carried on for the rest of the night, banging on doors and windows and using all kinds of language. While this is out of control of the staff, the way we were basically dismissed after bringing this to the staffs attention who couldn’t even be bothered to change our room to make us feel more safe.

There is major noisy construction work all around plus the highway traffic noise. Overall it could be cleaner, but then it is an old building. Showers were good. New quilts would make a difference.
