Staff helpful when room missing milk, remote control and soap which was only available in shower. Woken early by what sounded like drilling noises in morning. Although on busy intersection traffic noise not too noticeable. Advertised as close to John Hunter hospital but was a good 10-15 mins taxi ride.

Unfortunately the room faced the road so there was traffic noise all night. There were several cockroaches in the room. Don’t think the room was cleaned well as there was dirty socks just underneath the bed.

Visiting family.
Budget is certainly the word here. There was no hand soap for the sink and not even a teaspoon, you had to stir your coffee with a stick. Coffee cups were supplied but no glasses for water etc. The room seemed clean at first but there was dust all over the floor and what looked like drink stains and hair up the walls. The bathroom was clean, and the shower was hot and plenty of pressure. Air conditioner was fine for heating/cooling. We could not adjust the volume for the TV which was very annoying. The bed was clean and comfortable but that's where it ends. Every door in the place including the bathroom door squeaked loudly. All night you could hear doors from everywhere squeaking when people used them. All night people were in and out making loud noises in the corridors, yelling, laughing outside our door. We stayed for 2 nights and did not get any sleep. There are permanents staying at this hotel and I did not feel safe going in and out especially at night. There is a swipe key for entry in the front door, however the fire door at the other end of the hotel is open constantly, so where is the security?? Even at a budget price this place is not value for money. You get no accessories in your room, and you do not feel comfortable or safe! I would not recommend this place and intend to stay clear of it in the future.

Up front, the General Manager was extremely pleasant and helpful. However, during the stay, the bed sagged in the middle, and the bed underlining was torn and drooping. The GM did say they were planning to replace some of the beds. The room showed age with seam cracks and outdated decor. The wash basin wasn't in the bathroom but sandwiched in the corner of the bedroom which was odd. The modular design of the room and bathroom looked cheap. I do understand that it is budget accommodation, but the room was poky and not as clean as it should have been. Lots of dust behind the TV, plus a spider crawling over my luggage. On the evening of my stay, there was some yelling by somebody out in the car park, which continued unabated for about an hour from around 8 pm. Overall, it would be rated by me a 5 out of 10, and most of that would be for the GM's pleasant attitude.

We arrived at 8pm after a long day of travelling. We checked in, got our room keys (2 rooms) and both rooms had not been cleaned since the last guests. The bins were full, beds clearly slept in and wet towels on the floor. The night receptionist was apologetic and had to clean both rooms while we waited. We just wanted to go to bed and found this an unnecessary inconvenience. I'll be requesting a portion of the bill refunded.

You can hear everything, from your neighbour flushing the toilet or brushing their teeth. But the big kicker was my 3 year old daughter found ecstasy pills in our room just laying on the floor and another pill in the breakfast area. Luckily she gave it to me to flush it immediately. I didn’t expect a 5 star stay, but at least a safe one. We also paid for a bed for my daughter which wasn’t made up, no bedding, pillows nothing. Won’t stay here again and I’m glad it was only for one night.
