I didn't think motels existed in this day & age with communal toilets & showers. OK, obviously I didn't read the ad properly but surely this establishment would be classed as a hostel not a motel.

This place was good for the price. Simple but nice enough, had a full kitchen which was handy. The beds were very comfortable and I liked that they had a tv with Netflix in the room, felt a bit more homey.

It is actually not a motel, but rather a backpackers accommodation. We were greeted in the hallway but a bloke in his undies going to toilet. Decided not to stay and drove back to Gold Coast over midnight. The ad is misleading and we actually want a full refund of our money. Furthermore, there was no safe parking for our car is wild and noisy youths were running the shopping centre car park.

I found this place to be clean, friendly and quiet - on the Monday night I stayed here. Without my asking, one of the friendly staff kindly parked my large car for me. I'm thinking of returning for a longer stay, after the school holidays. That same friendly staff member was honest enough to say it can get noisy there sometimes. Sounds from along the hallway, do tend to echo - but everyone seemed to be quiet after 9 pm, when I was there. Just bring some earplugs if I come on a weekend
