Pasqualina

It was close to the bus stop. It was a large room. No one came to clean out the room until the 3rd day. Even then, they only emptied the trash and left a new bathmat and added some coffee packages. They didn't take the used coffee cups left on the bathroom sink or remake/change the bed sheets. It was just okay.

$20 per night for parking at the motel, no in room dining, elevators unable to take you straight to the carpark from level 9, cigarette butts in the garden out the front we picked them up and give them to concierge to put in the bin, room we booked was for 2 x single beds when we arrived only a double bed - concierge arranged another room but no help with baggage. 2 night stay towels were changed in bathroom and rubbish removed but beds were not made up which we thought was rather weird but we can live with it !!!!

The hotel staff were excellent, indeed outstanding. The hotel itself appeared somewhat "tired" and in need of an upgrade, thought still comfortable. The breakfasts were unchanging, and fairly limited. However, the hotel is conveniently located and we would stay again. I commend the staff who were incredibly helpful.
