The Elm is good value for money. Its facilities are basic, but it has almost everything that a motel room needs. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, and the towels were clean and soft. The only aspect of the room that I found lacking was that there was no 'mesh' curtain on the window so during the day the choice was between the blind being down with no daylight coming in, or the blind being up with full visibility from outside into the room.

Over priced for what it is. Noisey and bright with 24HR petrol station next door. Old but admittedly well maintained and clean rooms.

Last resort ….

Whilst the location was good, - on the outskirts of town, a d easy to check in through an on the wall unit, the property is older in styling. It was clean and the shower worked well. Noisy guests returning throughout the night woke me. The air conditioning unit, though it worked well, was a continuous noise through the night. The light from the TV and AC unit kept the room lit. There was a smell of sewerage coming through in the morning. And guests leaving early were loud and easy to hear. More towels would have been good. Adequate.

Very spacious and much quieter than expected ( one of the rear units). The only thing it needs is a bedside lamp.

Old school motel, but for $99 had everything we needed. Comfy bed, great air-con (it was 40 degrees one of the days), and close to everything. The main road is a bit noisy, but didn't keep us awake. Will stay again.

This is a basic room, but clean and comfortable. Perfect for an overnight when the top tier stuff is not needed. The email communications were timely and it all just worked.

The property was old and the rooms squishy but they were clean and provided everything we needed for one room. There was however no actual reception area just a computer screen in the outside wall. Half way through checking in in the screen a staff member came and gave me our room code.

I personally didn't like the self checking but luckily someone working on the premises came and helped. Would have preferred a proper reception. For one night it was fine, good WiFi and everything it said it provides was there. However room could really do with some TLC. A coat of paint would make quite a difference.
