Construction work going on all around the hotel, noisy until midnight then starts up again at 7am. We were offered ear plugs upon check-in, now i know why. Stayed there bc it was cheap but wouldn't stay there again. Pool is not like it is in pictures. Very outdated place.

Do not stay here. Layers of filth and dust on every surface. Coffee stains which simply needed a wipe up were present on the bedside tables which means they don’t clean between guests. It was disgusting.

Was ok for the price. Blinds dusty, moved the side table and there was dust/dirt and an old sock under. Hair and dirt in corner of bathroom & mold in shower needs cleaning. The beds were good with lots of pillows. Good to have a microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge with a big bench. Good location, short walk to tram and restaurants. Lots of roadworks out front and up the street. This is a good spot if you are going out and need a place to sleep no frills.

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

It was fine for the price and close to the beach and other attractions. It was just a very windy night when we were there, and the door and windows rattled all night.

Cons: construction next door, won't be able to sleep at night, the whole buidling shaked and continued for hours. Room itself is very dirty, spiderweb, rusty and dirty bed and towels. Pros: If you don't mind the noise and the dirtiness, it is very close to Pacific Fair, maybe 7 to 10 mins walk.

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.

You have to try and find the back way into the property as roadworks have closed of the front entrance. Also there are roadworks all night. I would not have booked if I knew this information
