Affordable stay
Pretty much what I expected from a budget motel. Room was a bit tired and run down, but it was clean and quiet. Service from the reception staff could have been better. Attached hotel does a decent meal, and the location is conviently located a short walk from resturants, supermarkets, and the train line.

Bedding was clean towels were clean, I understand this is Australia, so to have a few cockroaches here and there isn’t really that surprising. There was spoiled food left in the microwave. The Wi-Fi did not work. This was a little disappointing.
Just an honest review.

The room was ok, but for the whole week we stayed there was no interaction with anyone. Self check-in via a hard to find kiosk & not a staff member in sight through the day. We stayed 6 nights & the room was serviced once. The meals at the attached hotel were overpriced & overcooked & the bar staff couldn’t rate customer service as one of their strong points. We were disappointed & won’t stay here again.
