4/5 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Simple, older style motel rooms. Clean and comfortable. Staff work hard to maintain property. Great pool area, and two minutes walk to main streets, bus station, information centre etc. I booked a boutique king room, however, did not realise that this was an internal room with no window. The skylight helped a little, but just double check if you're a bit claustrophobic. The room was very quiet. Staff were obliging, and adhered to my request for no chemicals to be used in the room (due to allergies). A really pleasant stay in a no fuss hotel.

1/5 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Like: Bar area was nice, food was good and staff friendly. Dislike: Bathroom window was next to a roof which reaked of rotten leaves and hand industrial aircons turning on and off. The aircon in the room sounded like it was run by a petrol engine. The sewer line must run beside the headboard, anytime a toilet was flushed or sink used it sounded like a 20L bucket of water and ice being thrown at the wall.

Very clean and comfortable room and good staff service. For the price I paid, I was expecting a pretty poor stay, but I was pleasantly surprised. Being conveniently located in the city, there's always plenty to see and do around the area. Also plenty of transport options available.

Iiked the ambience and easy access. It would be even better if a lift was available. The pool would be more appealing if it was screened from the bar area. Overall i enjoyed my stay there.
