Good

Delapidated motel. Off milk in the fridge. Peeling vinyl bathroom cabinet. Room paint was dirty. On checkin the receptionist couldnt find my reservation and had a poor manner. At least the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. Off street parking good.
My pillow was dirty, the power point in the bathroom was hanging out of the wall dangerous in my opinion. The balcony door had tape across it as it was cracked so we didn’t open the door in case it shattered.
Property is very run down. Bed wasnt made after first of two nights stay. Tv remote gone and no replacement found. Tv manual operation very poor. Only good thing was the shower. Wont stay again.
Convenient location and clean and comfortable but facilities are basic and maintenance required (broken window, no smoke alarm battery, sink plug not right size, landscaping and property untidy)

Repairs needed particularly in the bathroom where thongs had been taken off the wall but screws remain. Replace the tiles to give a better impression. Also one has to be a dwarf to be able to get under the shower!

This was the second time I stayed here. Reasonable price for what you get and handy to two tram lines. Only issue this time was people talking outside my room from first light. Apparently they were making a film in another room. Could not sleep in both mornings as planned.

very old style need a lots of upgrading especially bathroom rooms are clean and lots of clean towels
Conveniently across the road to a bus stop that departs to the city every 20 or so minutes, facilities were lovely and the staff were delightful and offered to help with any inquiries right off the bat :)
For a short stay it's perfectly acceptable..Bed is comfortable, TV works and the shower is good..A bit old and tired looking and the outside light was shining through the window all night but for convenience of location for a short stay, I would definitely stay there again.
Dirty, run-down place. Dust everywhere. Things are falling off. We had 5 hours of sleep, woke up at 6 am and left. The pool was disgusting. I don't understand how promoting such a dirty pool is even legal. No one can swim in the pool. It is not safe.
