Handy location to city, airport and road south. Good as simple overnight stay accommodation. No relaxed seating. Limited general TV channels (but numerous religious and shopping!). Friendly, welcoming host.

Good value for money

Staff shifted us to another unit when we requested a quieter room. No fuss or bother at all!

Great location , clean and tidy

Pros: New so very clean and tidy. Great location and very friendly staff
Location: Very handy to Bush Inn shopping centre with supermarket and many restaurant and takeaway options. Easy walk or short drive to Westfield mall.
Fantastic location and very friendly staff. Beds are very comfortable but couch wasn’t! Room is also very small and not much space for three adults in a two bedroom room.
