Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Was a bit old, and large construction site next door. But very clean and great location
For an overnight stay, it suited our purposes very well! Only downfall was the roadworks that limited parking spaces, but that really couldn’t be helped.
Construction work going on all around the hotel, noisy until midnight then starts up again at 7am.
We were offered ear plugs upon check-in, now i know why.
Stayed there bc it was cheap but wouldn't stay there again.
Pool is not like it is in pictures.
Very outdated place.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
On going tram works out front. Fortunately no real noise. Standard motel of this area, not modernized, but still clean and serves the function.
I didn't like all the rust on fridge door and bathroom chrome on wash basin, and no shelf space in bathroom also the fan was noisy. The air conditioner needed cleaning.
Do not stay here. Layers of filth and dust on every surface. Coffee stains which simply needed a wipe up were present on the bedside tables which means they don’t clean between guests. It was disgusting.
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.
Lots of council work and development going on, council road work at front door went on all night. Building was old and needed a refurbishment. Inside was clean and tidy. Couldn’t connect to their wifi. Other patrons were friendly. Bit overpriced IMO

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was fine for the price and close to the beach and other attractions. It was just a very windy night when we were there, and the door and windows rattled all night.
Cons: construction next door, won't be able to sleep at night, the whole buidling shaked and continued for hours. Room itself is very dirty, spiderweb, rusty and dirty bed and towels.
Pros: If you don't mind the noise and the dirtiness, it is very close to Pacific Fair, maybe 7 to 10 mins walk.
