Smokers were sitting in front of the property late night talking loudly. The smoking zone needs to be isolated and away from the building.

For the price, it was a good overnight stay. Just unfortunate that there was a black out (no fault of the hotel) so was hard to get bags inside when it was pitch black. The beds were clean but facilities are dated. Toilet and shower were clean but there was a slight 'drain' smell. I only needed it to sleep in so wasn't a massive issue. Maybe if it was for a longer stay, then it may have been. The lady on reception was fantastic and gave us extra blankets due to the power cut but thankfully it was back on within an hour of us checking in Overall, you get what you pay for and even though it was cheap, it was clean and quiet

Very basic, which was o.k. for 1 night, but wouldn't have wanted to stay here longer. A large carpark, but we had to pay $5 per day for parking, which wasn't on the booking.

We were family of 3, so the room that had a 2nd level bunk was super "tight". Many little things that could easily be added/improved: * Hand towels; * More than one tiny side table; * Somewhere to put bags without absorbing the very limited space: * Aircon unit was very old and noisy; * Our bathroom hadn't been well cleaned and was smelly; On the positives: * Staff were very welcoming; * The location, despite being on a major road, was very pleasant; One final point, on checking in I was surprised to find that there would be a $5 per day parking fee. The amount is not the issue, it just struck me as a simple lack of transparency that all charges were not made clear up-front.
