Very clean and tidy, I really was pleasantly surprised... . The Google photos are old and made me worry initially, but I'm happy to report that they have revamped the hotel recently so everything was relatively modern and comfy.
Bed was huge, perfectly prepared and very comfortable (it even had a heated mattress!). Everything was exceptionally clean, with more than enough amenities for me to be able to relax and not need to make a trip to a shopping centre.
My one and only complaint is that paint from a section of the wall on the back of the shower was peeling off, but other than that it was a great stay and I'd highly recommend it

Receptionist was friendly and welcoming
The establishment is very run down and needs a total revamp. If the bed hadnt been comfortable I would have been totally dissatisfied with the room

Easy access, close to the cemetery. Close to the expressway. Good sized room. Comfortable bed. Kitchen bench and dishes were spotless. Wifi worked well but there were 2 different passwords which caused confusion.
The room we stayed in could do with a deep clean. Walls, doors, skirting boards and carpets, windows and mirrors. The carpet was horrible to walk in , in bare feet. Shower head was quite low.
Terrible pillows. Pool was in bad condition, either clean it up or get rid of it. No one wants to look at a green algae covered pool

Great Location and value for money.
Overall, nice quiet part of the area if you are just happy to chill, and enjoy the night.
Also, Great team on site I must add. Always Happy to Assist when and where needed.
Only issue were the facilities.
Whether accomodated for short people, at my height (5’10 - not that tall), I had to bend in the shower to wash from the shoulder up. And the water pressure was not great. But for the price, happy to return.

Location to the event that i was attending.
This motel is dated and in need of a full refurbishment. Painted bench tops over old Formica threadbare carpet and holes in the wall where old appliances and fittings were.
I was treated buy a room full of spiders and accompanying webs and no air conditioning. You can hear the TV from the adjacent room and people walking around up stairs.

The fair cost for a family of four. The easy location.
It's not very clean. It's fine, we survived but wouldn't want to hang out longer than one night in it.

Handy to expressway.
One light in kitchen did not work. Bathroom floor very slippery when wet, had to uee one of the towels to dry floor and for safety.
I felt locked on door wasn't secure, also need a security chain. When staff came to door after 7pm, could not see who was at door and I was hesitant to open until she said who she was. Opened milk from previous people left in fridge.

I had requested a particular room and received confirmation. On arrival was told the room is unavailable. Was given another room (Apparently it was an upgrade). Space was smaller, so I don't accept it as an upgrade.
Hotel is very outdated, floor is uneven in areas. Poor ventilation - had to keep doors open for breeze and cool air but that just lets the bugs in at night, so had to close the doors. Small fans are provided by that just blows the hot air around.

We liked how we were offered to stay in the office room as our hotel room had a problem with it. Decent size room, beds were comfortable
The shower was a little low pressure and I struggled to find hot water. The room was a little hot but cooled down overnight.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Really ppreciated the man's help in holding a room while waiting on friends from overseas, and sharing his butter with us. Very kind.
Stains on carpet and bathroom and toilet needed good wipe down or a repaint job.

Room was comfortable.
The room was smelly and noisy neighbour, there were plenty of rooms but seemed to be all cramped in together at one end of the Motel, instead of spreading guests out, so the noise from neighbour hearing everything they were doing was disturbing.

Rm 14 cockroaches on bench & shower head dispersed very little water.
Rm 5 gave 2 towels for 4 people. The mini fridge had the worst odor it was intolerable.
Good price, clean, comfortable beds.

The location was really convenient for what we needed. It was only a 15-minute drive to Hampton Downs, which worked perfectly for our plans. Huntly was also just 10 minutes away, making it easy to grab breakfast and anything else we needed before heading out.
The internet didn't meet my expectations.

Handy to event & reasonable price
Motel is old & dated but clean & beds comfy but not much has been done in the unit I stayed in since last using the Motel 7 years ago. Had problems with hot water & step up to shower was not appropriate for an older person. Had friends in another unit & looks like bathroom had been updated so maybe doing gradually.

The shower is in need of a mixer handle as this is broken and the pressure is very very poor.
Outside stairwell in need of work as it is dangerous and needs very good clean to remove moss.
Good bed

It was affordable.
Stairs felt a bit wobbly. I have minor mobility issues. If I had known would had requested something downstairs. Had to ask for help to get tv working. Could not get hot water to work in bathroom sink.

The room was spacious, clean, had a kitchenette, bed was comfy. It was a budget motel, value for the money and provided us with a good place to rest for the night, with ample parking.
The shower lining needed some maintenance but it didn't affect it's function.

No breakfast, location almost perfect for our specific needs.
The bed was good, and the TV actually worked. We often have issues with bad signals, etc., in other places.
It is budget accommodation, one should not expect too much, and overall it is fine, but it is getting a little worn around the edges here & there, for instance, the coating off the back shower panel was almost completely gone, exposing the wood & needs replacing fairly urgently, but I think things are being done & the industry has gone through some tough times, so budgets are restricted.
