Rooms are very basic but clean and tidy. Beds are not comfortable at all though. Parking was horrific! We had to park on the otherside of the highway and walk to and from the property. Location is easy walking to Pac Fair and Tram station. Very busy location and rooms aren't sound proofed. Pool is a nice touch but wasn't inviting at all. Staff checking in was nice. Staff checking out couldnt be bothered to look up. We stayed 2 nights. They charge extra for additional towels blankets etc. Not bad for budget accommodation on a one night stay but i have stayed at motels that charge less that had so much more value, atmosphere and amenities.

Good value at peak season. Small room, average bed. Great air-conditioning. Staff were very understanding when I slept in and checked out one hour late. A small $20 fee I believe was quite reasonable. Reception stayed open an extra hour to accommodate us. A five star, 3 star hotel
