We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom newly renovated unit/apartment and it was great! We had everything we needed. In spite of the proximity to the main street it wasn’t noisy - we were there on a Sunday night. The people in reception.
Room was clean and well presented. Didn't like the automatic check in, especially being asked to take a photo of the room code. (Assumes everyone has a suitable phone). Otherwise a comfortable stay.
This property is very dated, with no office nor any facilities.The outside of the buildings are very drab and somewhat depressing. However the room was clean & if all your looking for is a budget room with a clean bed this could be the place for you.

Good clean accommodation next to Public transport.
Affordable, easy check in, no carpets which is great for allergies and cleanliness. The orange seats could do with replacing to vinyl or leather if hard to upholstery clean 🤔
Older Motel, but very well maintained, very clean and the staff are very helpful if you need them. Helped us check-in with this new automated check-in system.
Property very old, bed was comfortable, air con/heating wasnt very hot at all, tv had no sound.
Was noisy but on main road. Price was ok .
Rooms are not like those advertised in photos
