The rates were low and the property was located close to the university. It is looking a bit tired, but I did not have any problems there. There is nowhere to eat there, but lots of restaurants within a short walk.

The staff were very pleasant and helpful with local amenities. The room was spacious the bed and bedding, towels clean and good condition unfortunately the carpet was very very dirty. The bathroom basin wasn’t draining as it should and the shower recess could have been cleaner. We could only get a few channels on tv. The parking across from rooms was a swamp land after rain and was an unsealed surface. These issues should not reflect on the working staff perhaps the owners. It’s a good location but traffic very heavy

Good location close to where we needed to go however very noisy. People yelling outside our room at night which made me feel unsafe. Walls inside our room very dirty. Shower room had strong smell of cigarettes. Not sure if the cheap price was worth the stay here. It was difficult to relax in. The staff checked us in efficiently and wifi use was handy. Clean sheets on bed and enough appliances for us to cook tea.

I didn’t even stay - pulled up out the front, rif raf hanging around outside each room, unregistered car in driveway, online pictures were not what it looked like today. Did not feel safe- continued to drive and booked a nearby quest for the exact same price. Was refunded luckily thank fully. I wasn’t staying there as a single mum with my son.

A big disappointment, not as advertised. Smelly, poorly maintained (cupboard doors falling off, mold in bathrooms), garbage outside the doors, dodgy men hanging about- really unsafe. Left four days early into an eight night booking, refused any kind of refund. Worif should no longer work with them.

This property was dirty, noisy and I felt unsafe. Despite the room being a non smoking room, it smelt of smoke. The bathroom, shower and sky light in particular were covered in black mould. I was so disgusted that I showered in my socks. The room appeared otherwise clean but was in desperate need of love - walls dinted, holes were mended with dodgy platering and paint, general scuffing. Slept with the light on beacuse I was unsure if the door was actually locked or not. It was NOT worth the $150 for the night.

Felt very unsafe here. Stupidly, I did not look at reviews - just saw this had the amount of beds I needed at a decent price and booked it. When we checked in I wanted to leave, but didn’t want to lose our money. First thing we did was check the bed sheets were clean (they were) but that was the only thing that was ok. The outside was horrible, dirty with rubbish lying around. People outside arguing. When we arrived back late at night there was a few ‘dodgy’ people outside. We were very glad to be a group of 4. Inside, the place had writing on walls, very uncomfortable beds and a bathroom that dates back many, many decades. (None of us used the bathroom for fear of the grime in there) There was a fridge in the middle of the room, that mostly blocked the doorway to the bedroom. The best thing this hotel could do would be to knock down the building and either start again, or walk away from the industry.
