Lots of council work and development going on, council road work at front door went on all night. Building was old and needed a refurbishment. Inside was clean and tidy. Couldn’t connect to their wifi. Other patrons were friendly. Bit overpriced IMO

I had pre-booked and prepaid weeks before and confirmed by phone that I would be arriving a bit later due to a delayed flight. I was assured everything was ok. Upon arrival, after about 40 minutes of stumbling through their computer system and making phone calls, the staff member informed me that their "system had made an error" and my room was no longer available and they had no rooms. So at 11pm I was forced to frantically find another place or sleep on the street. The staff member was apologetic at least.

We didn’t enjoy our stay the fridge smelt like off prawns every time you opened it. The wardrobe has cracks and hole on the door and the floor. When I brought it down to the managers attention she said sorry, no offer to change room or discount the stay. No mention prior to arrival of the 24/7 road works and construction happening in front of the motel or next door.

Property was in a great location! Walking distance to Pacific Fair, Train Station, Casino, Draculas and much more. Easy parking there, though there isn’t a lot of it. If you aren’t driving though, they’re a Train Station very close to take you to where ever you’d like to go. If you’re going for an event like a NRL game or something highly recommended just taking a train or bus. Only downside at the time of our stay was that they were building a new apartment complex right new door, with construction working through the night. Didn’t really hear it for the most part but could be loud from time to time.

You get what you pay for
I left the hotel after 10 mins. An old shopping trolley was blocking the door. The fridge looked like it should have been replaced 5 years ago. The included ear plugs was a nice touch but i guess that means it was going to be a loud night. I cut my losses and booked a different hotel so didn’t actually end up sleeping the night.
