The staff tried to deal with a difficult situation the best they could and were all polite and friendly. Unfortunately, there was renovation work going on that we weren't aware of beforehand. We were first told our original room wasn't available and were given two rooms as we wanted 2 beds. After going to these rooms, we were told there was actually a suitable room which turned out to be the room we'd originally booked but it was beside a room being renovated so at 9am the drilling started. After being out a couple of times, my elderly mother needed a rest in the afternoon which wasn’t possible with the noise. I talked to management who said the work would continue until 6ish. They finally offered my mother the use of a quiet room to rest for a few hours and i went out again. We didn’t want to pack up again and move to a room with an added fold-down bed, as we were leaving the following morning and were told there would be no work the next day. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case and work started at 8am!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was surface clean to be fair but in poor condition, drab, chipped furniture, reception staff on arrival equally lacklustre unfortunately but then again not much to work with. Looks like a much needed refurbishment is underway but I wouldn’t recommend staying here for a while or until it’s possible to confirm the work is complete.

Pretty good suburban motel
Generally very good with some small but important issues - shower water huge variation in temperature, the room phone was not connected to wall so you could not contact reception and free bottle of wine or arrival moved to on departure

I would stay here again!
The room was extremely comfortable and the double glazing meant that despite the room facing the Nepean Highway there was no noise.

Lovely 3BR Apartment
Had a very comfortable stay at their 3 bedroom apartment. Very spacious and homey. Whole house/villa to ourselves with its own parking space. Cleanliness has room for improvement (dusty floors) but daily housekeeping provided so it was ok. Comfy beds, lovely showers. Check in and out was a breeze too using Hotels.com. Highly recommend.
