No thrills but fantastic location and price

The location is great being a block away from Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and 2 blocks to the beach. The motel is old but kept clean. Parking was limited and the stairs were slippery in the rain The kettle was too big to be filled from the sink and had to be done in the shower. The crockery and cuttlery could only be rinsed as no detergent was provided. No house keeping during our 3 day stay either. No face washers and no where to hang wet towels. Overall Average but the price and location was great

Room was badly cleaned, had remanence from previous guest such as shower scrub tags and some mystery gunk on the counter. Walls where also very thin and the window shutters to the outside don’t fully close (people could peel through if the light inside was on)

Very noisy motel. Roadworks all around until late at night. And construction across the road begins at 6am. Door had damage that looks like it was broken into numerous times. Wouldn’t leave valuables in the room. Should note there is access via stairs only. No lifts or accessibility. Parking is tight, but present.

Appreciated having lots of bowls, plates, cups and cutlery, as well as brush and tea towel to wash them. A small bottle of dishwashing liquid would have been helpful, but we managed by using a bar of soap. Parking is limited, but the same people manage Tropicana and Browns next door, and there is extra parking at the back of the Browns property.

Very strict check-in time and no blackout curtain!

Room service is only provided once while u stay for a week. Room for 3 people is very small without any chair and small bathroom as well but fortunately i was a solo traveller. There is no blackout curtain and imprecision door so beware of very very shining sunlight come into the room, my idea is covering the window with blanket. Before my arrival has emailed sent and back for early check-in and after all it seemed very strictly 2pm check-in time, it happened as well in my last year check-in, it is very hard situation when u had a overnight flight from Perth and arriving early morning and there is nothing to seat there in the very very small lobby without any seating. 1 hour late check out is $20. There is tram extended rail construction to the airport but it is now better than last year i stayed as working all night long, however sound is busy started early morning.

Good cheap stop in between medical appointments for the week. Lots of construction which can get loud very early but being further in the corner wasn’t as loud like the cars/bikes screaming up the road. Some very strict rules to follow but its easy if your only staying mostly at nights. A negative is the bright lights that light up outside the top rooms which i feel is for safety but leaving our room fully lit up and harder to sleep which was needed after surgery. The room itself had few minor issues like a leaking shower head, basically no cutlery with only 1 fork to share with 2 people and dangerous clothesline in the shower which couldn’t support the weight of anything and become slip hazard if left wound out. overall will return even with these Minor issues.

Questionable ethics. Asked me to email them copies of licence and credit card for a late check- in after I had paid for the room. This request was from a mobile phone number not listed as a business number on the website. When I denied this, they refused to refund my stay. It wasn’t until after 9pm on the check-in date that they texted me with an alternative late check-in option (I had already found alternative accommodation) and used this as an excuse not to refund.
