Top marks for a spacious & absolutely clean room furnished with 1950s charm, down to the smallest detail. It's value for money, no question. There's piping hot water and good shower pressure. The shower is over the bath but there's a handrail & anti slip mat. Parking is good.
My 2 issues were a bed with a mattress that was way too soft a microwave that had such a death rattle I didn't use it for fear of waking my neighbours.
Overall, I'm pleased I chose Mayfair. Staff couldn't have been better.

Charming old school motel rooms with a chandelier and a bed frame with attached side tables lol. Handy that it was near a bus stop. Only thing about the rooms is that they have very old heaters that take a few hours to heat the room. Friendly staff

I liked the location. This is a charming hotel but they have some history you can read on it. I think it was created in the 1960s and I don't think anything has been updated since. Things were clean enough but very old. The mattress may have been that old and the carpet was very worn and stained. Staff was pleasant and I had a place to park. Can't complain much for a budget stay.

I guess you get what you pay for and the room in this budget motel certainly needed work in a few areas. Having said that, the staff were lovely and the room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. I appreciated having a microwave oven.

Staff was very helpful 5 stars. The property only gets 2 stars - it is run down and needs maintenance - eg fluro lighting fixtures were malfunctioning, shower plumbing was leaking badly, and window curtain tracking was broken. Otherwise, OK.

Room was neat and tidy. Clean and very functional as well as comfortable. Iron was a bit ordinary and the ironing board very ordinary, however this was immediately rectified with a brand new iron and ironing board as soon as I mention it to staff.

For the price my room and the facilities were great, as was the location. The staff were excellent. Upon vacating I had left a valuable ring in my room’s bathroom but happily, within an hour, the house cleaner and manager had contacted me. That is gold service.

Last time we stayed we has a spa suite and loved it. This time we had a standard room and it wasn't nearly as nice. Also had very poor wifi connection. My advice is to choose an upgraded room which are well worth the extra charge

Old motel

The room is big, the facilities are old and the carpet needs a good clean. It’s a motel but does not have a kitchenette, only a microwave. The walls are thin and it is hard to enter the motel from the other side of the road.

We stayed in Room 7, a quiet room at the property. Staff at reception in the original, historic building at the rear of the property were polite at both check-in & checkout, & prompt in providing a replacement electric jug for the faulty one in our room. Included parking at our front door was appreciated. The room itself is dated, with peeling wallpaper & worn carpet, but clean. Spacious room with a 2 person lounge chair, small table, 2 dining chairs & t.v. included. The furnishings are period style & charming, in keeping with the main building. The queen bed was pretty good, however an upgrade on the mattress would be fabulous! Heating in both the room & ensuite is provided & appreciated. One bedside lamp is provided, worked well. 2 wall lanterns above the bed not working. Ceiling lights & ensuite lights worked well. Blockout drapes in room appreciated, for a sleep in, after our fabulous night attending the Eagles Greatest Hits concert at Wrest Point. Bar fridge in room works well, tea, coffee & sugar provided. 2 x serves of milk provided, would be helpful to have a few more. We purchased extra milk from the corner shop 2 blocks walk from our room, on Hill Street. The shower over bath tub worked well, hot water available. Good stay for 1 night, for the price we obtained through Wotif, AUD$89.55.

The room had a damp/old carpet smell, which didn't go when you opened the door.
The silicon in the bathroom was mouldy and missing around parts of the sink.
There was a very dodgy electrical set up in the bathroom. The plate which should be attached to the wall was sitting on top of the heater. I hope no one turns it on!
You had to move the bedhead to access any plugs on that side of the room. There was a fan, but the legs had been shortened to fit in a cupboard, so it wasn't stable. The staff were friendly. I wouldn't recommend this motel.

I have stayed here several times and it offers good value. The staff are helpful and courteous. The room was a little 'tired' with 1970s- style furnishings but that did not bother me. It was clean and comfortable. I appreciated the early checkin, but soap near the bathroom basin instead of only in the shower would have been helpful.

Mayfair on Cavell’s first impressions were a little bit underwhelming, with old world charm being straight out of the 70’s - however, it was warm, comfy, cosy and safe. The bathtub was lovely, the room spacious, the staff even put the heaters on for us as we had organised a later check in. Great value for money, centrally located - Cavell grew on us & we can’t wait to book again.
