I personally wouldn’t stay here again as the rooms were much smaller compared to photos, the room was very dusty and the beds aren’t comfortable. They also don’t have curtains so people can look right in through the window (this happened to me and it was very uncomfortable) The staff weren’t friendly and not many parking spots for trailers.

This motel is very basic, which was to be expected from a budget hotel, but the main problem was that I didn't feel safe there. Every time I came into the car park there was a guy standing there ready to approach the car. He looked like he was dealing and/or soliciting from the hotel. He was also hanging around the supposedly secure $5 a night guest parking area and going in and out a fire door that didn't shut properly. My bedding appeared clean, but the bathroom and air-conditioning unit was filthy and the hallways smelt like a public toilet. The step up and down from the cruise ship style bathroom was very draining after a few visits, not to mention claustrophobic. The elderly should definitely avoid. I wouldn't stay there again, or recommend it to anyone who is not seeking a rent by the hour style accomodation.

Stayed 5 nights, room serviced only once despite request to GM to service on morning of 4th day, which he wrote down but was ignored (room 201). Numerous alive & dead insects in our room from day one, although we never opened the window. Two giant live moths on hallway wall outside our room from day one, one had defecated & it was visibly running down the wall. Toilet seat loose from day one. TV almost unwatchable as very dark picture & we couldn’t seem to adjust it. Paid parking yet same furniture truck parked there every night -perhaps a local as another same company truck parked nearby. Minibuses & coaches permitted to park along fence line near entry, which made reversing out difficult. Suggest GM do regular inspections of premises, including 2nd floor. As fairly regular clients, we were very disappointed on this occasion & we doubt we’ll stay here again.

No lifts only stair cases rude front desk attendant mold on room roof air conditioner had a very moldy smell if used so wasn’t, window can open but a bit and no fly screens a hop up into toilet shower cubical and half flush didn’t even work don’t forget the drop into room when exiting toilet oh and don’t forget the extra 5 dollar parking fee open air honestly will never go there again.
Plus was there with my daughter but the filthy look said otherwise. Always watch that wood strip when you enter your room major trip hazards as it can catch your footing. If the lip on the stairs don’t get you before hand with the lip on each stair step preventing your suit case to glide up easier. To be honest just thought male attendant was rude at front desk and no you can site my id but not handing it to you. But to be honest he was probably the best thing the hotel needs upgrades and honestly were to begin one making it safe especially for the older people I saw staying there unsure how they would of even managed on a lower level if they had the amenities we had on the second level.

The room smelled liked cigarette smoke. House keeping cleaned the room and took all the towels and didn’t replace them. Air conditioning/heating very loud needs an update, bathroom very small and no window. TV needs updating. Front reception needs updating. The whole place needs a revamp. The front door after 10pm is supposed to be locked and only accessible with a room key but it was opening without so zero security. Budget is 100% accurate. Staff were nice but seems like no organisation or structure.

The room was small ( cell/ dorm like) and neglected needs updating. The AC in our room didn’t work properly and it’s old. They were hazards too. Our window was broken and blind wouldn’t stay down. Noted: to fix problem sticky tape was applied to window frame and blind, not a good look and cheap. There was 2 old heaters placed under the window again hazards and not a good look. One basin to use for bathroom/ kitchen not hygienic. Get walk pass bed had to position yourself straight de would. The bathroom/ toilet module to get in and out slip/ trip hazard. Any steam from shower can set up off smoke alarm not good. Em Slaby

This place was never the Hilton, but it used to be clean and had a decent breakfast. Now, the bed in our room was dirty (stained doona) and there was a large chunk of hair in the bed. The front door was damaged. The breakfast was poor. Only one choice of cereal, they got rid of the cappuccino machine (replaced with the worst instant coffee and tepid water), got rid of the cold meats, only one jam (in a broken jar) etc. etc. Very bad. My family used to stay there regularly. No more, it's a dump now!

Adequate Hwy stop

The bed is comfortable enough and the property is located conveniently off the Federal Hwy on the way into Canberra traveling south from Sydney. A couple of things to be aware of though 1) The walls are not soundproof. Listening to someone drag the one plastic stool that the rooms provide around the floor after midnight is not fun. 2) I'm not even 163cm but even I found the shower rose to be very low. 3) If you are carrying an injury, or if you are elderly you might find the step up into the toilet/shower to be difficult.

For the price, it was a good overnight stay. Just unfortunate that there was a black out (no fault of the hotel) so was hard to get bags inside when it was pitch black.

The beds were clean but facilities are dated. Toilet and shower were clean but there was a slight 'drain' smell. I only needed it to sleep in so wasn't a massive issue. Maybe if it was for a longer stay, then it may have been.

The lady on reception was fantastic and gave us extra blankets due to the power cut but thankfully it was back on within an hour of us checking in

Overall, you get what you pay for and even though it was cheap, it was clean and quiet

We were family of 3, so the room that had a 2nd level bunk was super \"tight\". Many little things that could easily be added/improved:

* Hand towels;
* More than one tiny side table;
* Somewhere to put bags without absorbing the very limited space:
* Aircon unit was very old and noisy;
* Our bathroom hadn't been well cleaned and was smelly;

On the positives:
* Staff were very welcoming;
* The location, despite being on a major road, was very pleasant;

One final point, on checking in I was surprised to find that there would be a $5 per day parking fee. The amount is not the issue, it just struck me as a simple lack of transparency that all charges were not made clear up-front.

Good budget hotel. It is a hot spot for interstate people to come and stay. It is best to have a car as the bus stop is about a 10-minute walk. It is also good to get you to the city for food as the best option you have is the servo beside the hotel.
