Fantastic little hotel in a good location with lots of buses and not to far from the CBD in an Uber. Clean, tidy, comfy bed, light cooking facilities, Heat pump, tv with internet access, wifi. Had everything I needed, good sized fridge, free washing machine and dryer. Staff were friendly and polite and my room was serviced daily, rubbish removed and fresh towels when required. It's not a five star resort but I found it quite comfortable, clean and good value. Met all my expectations and I would stay here again. Thank you.
Well everything was pretty good. The clothes dryer doesn't work great but it's free so can't complain too much, just had to hang clothes up overnight in the room to dry that last bit. There is no range hood for cooking so you have to make sure you open some windows to let the breeze through so don't set off fire alarm and cook at lower heat. Overall its a good, honest, quiet place to stay and good value.

I was upgraded from 2 bedrooms

This little motel exceeded our expectations. The room had way more space than we expected including a fridge and small kitchen area. Bed was comfy. close to airport and lots of eating options 8-10 min walk down the road.
No deadbolt on the door or swing lock. There was only the door handle which is keyed. We had no issue, and we felt safe in the neighborhood, but it was the first time we’d been in a motel/hotel that didn’t allow us to double lock the door from the inside.
Thank you for your information!
