The room I had was just fabulous for the length of stay I had. (12 days) It had everything I needed, I was able to cook myself a meal when I felt like staying in. I was within walking vicinity to all I wanted to access in the city and bus service was only minutes away. Staff was happy and friendly and helpful.

This is not the place to stay. Advertised as a Motel on Wotif. It turns out to be a Car Rental company with rooms. The studio rooms are not in the Motel but a couple of doors down in Car Rental car yard. Not a nice place. Don't stay here. The Studios are not serviced and if you need something you have to go back to main office to get it. If you have the misfortune to stay in the Car Yard it is noisy. Avoid this place.

Mr Treacy, We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy you stay in our newly renovated deluxe studios. Yes there is a hire car business operating from the same building but separate to the holiday units. The studios are serviced at an extra cost.
