The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower had great pressure if a little quirky as it was a raised cubicle. I found the amenities great and exactly what I needed for my trip. Thanks for a great stay.

Guess it’s okay in a pinch.

Room was dusty and dirty, bathroom was mouldy and generally dirty. Bathroom sink was in bedroom on other side of the room. Bed sheets seemingly clean but stained. Floor was hairy, chunks of debris. Didn’t look like it had been swept. Under the bed was revolting. Door didn’t have security bolt/chain, just a lock. Nothing was broken. Vent cover in bathroom missing. Only two pillows on queen bed. One flat and one weirdly stuffed. Everything else was fine.

The bed was comfy and great water pressure in the shower. Heater a little noisy. Could benefit from an extra blanket just in case and a face washer. Reception team were great. Very kind and courteous on my pre arrival call and during check in. Considering on a busy roadway, I barely heard any noise.

Cheap ho

Its the cheapest in the vicinity of the aurport so don't expect 5 star service or facilities. Theres a bed, a shower and a toilet of decent enough standard. We had an overnighter before an early flight so it served its purpose. Lots of road noise made its way through. We bought our own pillows from home which probably made a fair difference because the ones on offer were thin. Nothing to write home about but if thats your expectation then you cant be disappointed

I have stayed at this property a few times now. I do like staying here. I like that it is out of town. The train station is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel and takes around 30-35 minutes to get into the city. The rooms are pretty standard (quite small) there is a tv, fridge, coffee and coffee making facilities, double bed, airconditioning, ensuite in the rooms that I have stayed in. There is an onsite car park, with ample space. Across the road (busy intersection/ main road/ freeway) you have Mc Donald's , Coles, Kmart etc..
