We were family of 3, so the room that had a 2nd level bunk was super "tight". Many little things that could easily be added/improved: * Hand towels; * More than one tiny side table; * Somewhere to put bags without absorbing the very limited space: * Aircon unit was very old and noisy; * Our bathroom hadn't been well cleaned and was smelly; On the positives: * Staff were very welcoming; * The location, despite being on a major road, was very pleasant; One final point, on checking in I was surprised to find that there would be a $5 per day parking fee. The amount is not the issue, it just struck me as a simple lack of transparency that all charges were not made clear up-front.

Offered good value. The smoke alarm went off at 2.20am, but I would rather stay at a place that has a working smoke alarm than no smoke alarm at all.

Good budget hotel. It is a hot spot for interstate people to come and stay. It is best to have a car as the bus stop is about a 10-minute walk. It is also good to get you to the city for food as the best option you have is the servo beside the hotel. Otherwise, the stay was present. The front desk lady was extremely friendly and helpful. The amenities were basic but sufficient for what you will be paying.
