Disappointed
Very tired motel in desperate need of an upgrade. I didn't expect that based on the pictures provided.
My room was next to the highway and although the traffic noise was muted, it was still at times quite noticeable, especially as the morning traffic started up.
There were other odd noises in the room as well.
However, despite it being very bright outside with street and other lights, it was relatively dark in the room.
Bathroom floor was discoloured so although clean, it looked dirty.
Old stainless steel shower and overall bathroom was large so hard to heat up.
Bed was comfortable and good choice of pillows.
Didn't use the kitchenette so can't comment.
Only bonus was being able to leave my car there until 1pm as parking in the area around the hotel is extremely difficult to find.
Overall I was disappointed with the room.
Further from town centre than I expected and didn’t look as good as the photos in real life. On the plus side the room was bigger than expected and kitchenette was very handy.
The hosts checked each day to top up supplies of tea, coffee, etc. Towels were changed after two days. Great place to stay as convenient to walk the 15 mins into Cathedral Square and the Botanic Gardens.
