Room in good condition, clean and staff were friendly. Could do with a new sofa/pull out bed. There was only 2 of us, and didnt require a pullout bed, and was uncomfortable to sit on during the day/evening. Otherwise was sufficient for the length of time we were there (9days) close to the city

Close to the park. Generally, a decent enough place to stay. A $100 deposit was requested, which I did not notice on any of the info given on the motel. When the EFTPOS machine didn't work, I was asked if I had enough money (worked the second time with a different method). There was an incident at about 1:30 AM where a person was persistently yelling and knocking at a different unit and lasted for at least 30 min intermittently.

The room had a really good shower, comfortable bed. Staff were very friendly, house keeping everyday. Only things i can fault are, the room we were in was right by the road and all you could hear was the traffic 24/7 because its a main road & when we arrived at 530pm all windows were still open, room was really cold.
