Room was basic but clean. Motel currently doing renovations so some areas were very untidy. Limited parking made it hard to find somewhere to park on the street. Room had a small kitchenette but no cutlery, not even a teaspoon. Lots of options close by for meals at night but nothing open Sunday morning for breakfast. Easy to find & close to CBD.

It's a great location and friendly reception staff. You need to book through the hotel directly to get complimentary parking though - not made clear on the WotIf site. Be aware there is building renovation work happening that reduces the number of car spaces and makes manoeuvring into a car space difficult - and can be noisy during the day in the rooms.
