Great stay for a budget motel. Clean room, with everything we needed and nothing we didn't. Small balcony with outdoor setting. Great shower. Continental in room breakfast was just like home - cereal, toast, jam, marmalade, vegemite, tea, coffe and best of all proper milk...no UHT milk here. Places to eat a comedy club and a few pubs only a short walk away, as well as IGA, chemist etc.

A charming place in the tradition of the nostalgic motels of my childhood. Run-down and not what you'd call spotlessly clean, but cosy and pleasant with a very comfortable bed.

If you want a spa, sauna, gym, don't go there as they don't have these. If you are happy with smallish, clean rooms, friendly staff, a good price and a location close to the CBD, this is a very, very good choice.
