The service was excellent but the place was tired. Very clean but things such as the iron, and the cooking utensils need updating. Over all it was just sufficient.

Local Motel

A refreshing change from previous place I had been regularly using. Easy access, with good parking. Short walking distance from mall with good bars and restaurants. Unfortunately had a room with a dodgy heater (lucky it wasn't too cold). Manager was helpful

Disappointed that when I booked the motel it came up on Expedia as 100, but then charged 170? The motel was expensive for what it was, the room smelt a bit damp, and there was a lot of traffic noise.

Clean, good size rooms

Large room with a comfortable big bed. Shopping within walking distance. Very clean and tidy. In a quiet area, but a lot of noise late at night from other guests outside their rooms smoking and socialising. Expensive considering the location, but it was close to the retirement village where my mother lives.

Close to Botany town centre

Free parking, free milk, tea & coffee, a reasonable size of room, the staff offered us a ground level room (so that we didn’t need to take stairs with heavy luggage) and free WiFi access - awesome The fridge and heater were a bit noisy, furniture was slightly old fashioned

Had a nice stay here with my friend. Room was good but unfortunately the room was overrun with ants. The hotel staff did everything they could to get rid of them.
