The mattress springs felt like they were past their use by date. In the grout of the shower, some parts were a little black. For an overnight stay, it will do.

Pros: Streaming services eg Netflix; convenient to shops/dining and tram stop right at doorstep. Has bar fridge/freezer and microwave. Sizable combined bathroom / toilet Cons: Room carpet for allocated has abit of odour and stained. TV cabinet used as storage space for kettle, cups, glasses and beverages. Shelf broken and used to cover hole in cabinet. No wardrobe just open space; two metal poles with bar across for clothes. Reception hours for Sunday is now 10 am - 3 pm. But in booking confirmation email, Reception hours in black & white is 8 am to 8 pm. Very misleading and Reception not manned and need to call a telephone number. In summary, supposed what you get for a 3 star motel plus price paid was reasonable for 3 person in 1 room (1 Queen bed plus 1 single bed)

I couldn’t even stay in the room for more than an hour before leaving and booking somewhere else last minute. None of the photos on this site are in any way an accurate representation of the hotel. I wasn’t expecting the Ritz obviously but it does need to actually be clean. Wish I’d taken my own photos at the time but I just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. I was told that I couldn’t get any refund either.

Basic. Would not return

Basic but clean bed and bathroom. Disappointed at the lack of basic tea or coffee facilities. No cups or utensils for example. No extra covers or pillows. Electric socket coming away from wall.

Loved the ability to book and check in on short notice. The room I got was a little divey but for the cheap deal price I had and the short notice I gave, I didn't mind so much. Would stay again in a pinch.

Great for a night stay, very central. Shower was aged but worked ok. Toilet clean. We could smell cigarette smoke most of the night. Even though there was a sign on the room door saying, Smoking is not allowed.
