Dodgy motel, greeted by someone in their PJ's smoking at reception, receptionist told us to park under the security camera just to be sure vehicle wasn't broken into. once in the room, which is through a rabbit warren, the room smelt musty, vanity was broken, old milk left in the fridge and the sofa bed had old sheets on it. Needless to say we did not stay, lost our money but stayed down the road and felt much safer in a clean and tidy room. Would never recommend this establishment!!

Despite being in a low demographic area, the hotel and it's carpark were safe. The staff at reception were very courteous and friendly. Our room was very clean, we had the one bedroom studio with a small living room with couch and kitchenette. The bed is wide and comfortable. Only 10 minutes drive to Sylvia Park shopping mall and not too far to the airport.

There was no breakfast option so umable to comment on that. Staff were lovely, and the email communication beforehand was super useful. We were in Room 16 and it was clean and tidy, but it looks as though a repair is needed on the kitchen benchtop which appeared to have water damage. Bed was comfy and the shower was great which was all we needed for our short overnight stay. We would definitely return again.

Staff was nice. Room was ok but was not clean under the beds there was rubbish and socks from when other people had stayed . I had a toddler so it wasnt ideal for her to be rolling on the ground gross. The plugs didnt fit the Sinks .And stains on the Under sheets the covered the bottom of the beds. Thats probly why they dont clean under there coz u cant see unless u look under yourself. Any way it served its purpose some wea to sleep. Probly wont be back.
