Staff were lovely, its an old place but been renovated and is nice and clean. In a good spot for access to pacific fair and half hour drive to the theme parks. Carpark is small and can fill up, but you can park on the grass at the property next door. If i had one negative, the shower pressure wasnt the best 😁 Thank you for having us.

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.
