    Room smelled so awful it gave me a headache, I needed to go and buy Glen 20 just so I could sleep. Mirror not being above the sink was weird.

    Cheap, location was easy with a car. Overall an easy pass.

    The property and rooms are in need of a paint job to refresh and make more appealing.

    Our room was ok, had tea/ coffee facilities snd toaster. Was alright for budget accommodation

    There was something weird on the bathroom floor which mad it seem very unclean. I experimented with a little patch and was able to clean it but just put towels down fo me to walk on in bare feet.

    The positives: the actual room itself and the bed was clean. The motel was inexpensive and in a part of town useful to me. The staff were distracted but not rude or unpleasant.

    We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment for a night. Per other reviews, it is definitely dated but it was also clean and practical. We had 2 families staying and found plenty of beds for everyone and the 2 bathrooms made it nice and easy. We’d stay again.

    There was no lock on the door to lock it from the inside as there often is in motels. This would have made us feel more secure. The bathroom was very old and outdated with horrible brown vinyl on the floor.

    Room was very accessible (ground level) and was well lit at night. The bed was comfortable. The shower was hot.

    No staff on site. When I went to reception I had to talk to a person on a television. Booked for 4 people, only got 3 towels. Went out for the day and returned to door ajar - was definitely shut when we left, so not sure if cleaners came in and left when realised we were staying a second night.

    Was reasonably roomie.

    Aircon was noisy because it was a window unit, and the room had a cigarette smell despite a warning notice on the wall stating immediate eviction if there was a breach of no smoking rule. I think they should install a cigarette smell detector.

    Clean cutlery set and toilet and shower on arrival, though the check in time was delayed due to cleaning. Easy check in and check out via SMS. Good hot water shower facilities.

    We had trouble accessing the unmanned reception. Once we got in the service was ok. The whole place was like a scene from a 50's or 60's movie. I was only just acceptable as the cheapest motel in town but it was only just above sleeping in the car! tnhe place should really be bulldozed although the asbestos cleanup bill would be massive!

    It was very basic accomodation for an overnight stay.

    I didn't like the room. The bed was uncomfortable and curved. The bathroom was having curtains that at night we didn't had a privacy. With this price it's not worth it. If you desperately need a place with less money that come otherwise no no.

    I like that it was near to the town.

    Uncomfortable beds. Showers were very low pressure (to the point where it was almost impossible to wash our hair). No tea towels provided to dry dishes - despite signs telling us we had to wash and dry dishes or risk being charged $100 bond.

    Very clean and tidy.

    We group of 7 people stayed one night on the way to Melbourne. Was a bit hesitant because of previous reviews. But the stay was more expected. Check-in was smooth. There was a small in the kitchen sink we informed, and they acted so quickly and fixed it. Value for y and convenience.

    The bathroom was poorly designed and could definitely use revamping. Water was not hot.

    Easy to get to shops and highway. Loved the ease of accessing the room (completely no contact).
