I have stayed at this property a few times now. I do like staying here. I like that it is out of town. The train station is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel and takes around 30-35 minutes to get into the city. The rooms are pretty standard (quite small) there is a tv, fridge, coffee and coffee making facilities, double bed, airconditioning, ensuite in the rooms that I have stayed in. There is an onsite car park, with ample space. Across the road (busy intersection/ main road/ freeway) you have Mc Donald's , Coles, Kmart etc..

Hotel is in a very convenient area for access to everything. Room was supplied with the essentials required. Pillows need to be changed , got very sore neck from the low pillows and had to pay extra money for parking on arrival we were unaware of. Otherwise 4 star stay.

Broken pieces of glass in the room which we didn’t see, my son took his shoes off and went to jump into bed and stood on a piece, cut his foot open 1cm. Went down to tell the staff and he asked what room, typed it into the computer gave a stern look at the computer, I said clearly wasn’t swept/vacuumed he continued to stare for an awkward minute, no apology. Disgusting. Sheets were filthy. Under the bunk was graffitied which could easily be cleaned. Quick stay for a nap before the airport is perfect but nothing more than that

I didn't like the large step up to the toilet and shower, there should be a second step to make it much easier for people unsteady on their feet.

Shower was a problem having a large climb into it also water went everywhere through the toilet and floor no shower door or curtain. An extra $5 per day for parking car did not see any reference to this on the promotion.

Recommend paying a little more elsewhere

Staff were not friendly and in no hurry to help. The rooms smell like damp, people smoking out of windows so every corridor smells like cigarettes. Plastic coated mattresses and the smallest bathroom Ive every experienced outside of a motorhome. Guests are questionable , seems a place for many people to live long-term. You get what you pay for, it is cheap, but I suggest paying an extra $30 elsewhere.
