This is a hard review to write because some of it was great and other parts were terrible. The hotel itself is very run-down, but on the other hand my bathroom was great - like a bathroom from a different hotel. The facilities were clean, but on the other hand, the microwave in the community kitchen was the filthiest I've ever seen. (To be fair, I mentioned it to the manager and the next morning it looked better.) There is a weird smell in the hallways - maybe cleaning products, I don't know.
The staff were all very polite and helpful.

The only good thing about this motel, is it's location. The rest - forget it! Waayyyy overpriced for what it is. As old as the hills, rooms that smelt funky. Was kinda clean, but kinda really not (someone elses hair in the bathroom, hubby wasn't game to use the kettle). Wouldn't have felt safe staying there without my husband. Front glass door was smashed, which wasn't comforting. Parking awkward. It's as dodgy as they come.

A motel in a convenient area, with off-street parking available. Public transport is nearby (about 800 m to the train).
The room was clean, but very small. However, the price was low, so it was good value for money.

Very basic and dated amenities with band aid fixes such as a fractured sink with massive line of silicone caulk, or thick coats of paint on doors. It's a very minimal viable product with median market rates that seemed pricey for such conditions. Staff were nice; and for a roof on your head, it does the job so long as you pay careful attention to your room door.

Had a major problem with my room door not latching properly: it's a lightweight (not fireproof) door like a residential bedroom door and a basic bedroom keyed lock. Problem was after I finished my shower, I walked out to my room with the horror of finding my door opened despite the door handle lock was engaged. Turns out the door had too many coats of paint and didn't close shut to latch to the door frame unless you literally lean against the door. The shower exhaust fan that turned on automatically when I used the bathroom must have created a pressure difference to pull the room door open inwards. Totally not expected from any hotels I've stayed in.

Next time I'm staying at other hotels/motels with doors that actually work.

Although the motel is a little old, the good things are that the staff are friendly and ensured I was comfortable and well looked after, the room and bathroom is very clean, they have a laundry, wifi and family room has a little kitchenette. Plus it is not far from the train station, tram stop, university and shops etc. The downsides – the fridge should be topped up with little milks daily. Overall, I had a great experience.

Not My Business

This is hostel style accommodation in a run down 1970's building. Bed was clean and comfortable but bathroom had broken cabinets, hot water was intermittent and while it looked clean, it felt dirty. Kitchen amenities were all there, but again, old rickety cupboards and aged appliances. Cold all night, even with the heater on the room does not warm up. This is budget 1 star accommodation at best and not suitable for business travel and the clientele reflect this.
