It was cheap, but it needs work done on it. My room door was hanging off one hinge, and the door handle on an external door came off in my hand. Basic facilities (no microwave) but comfortable enough bed for me and well located

Don't like self check in, foyer and stairs are awful. Limited parking which was only told about by email giving self check in details, no lift. Shower was weird with no curtain or door. 2 cups and 2 teaspoons only supplied, no toaster, plates, knives so couldn't have toast in the morning. location is good. We had an end room which had a great view but overall would not recommend.

Blue Hills Motel offers affordable accommodation in an excellent location. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the price is unbeatable. I had two bookings throughout the duration of my stay, so experienced a renovated and unrenovated room. Some guests may find the unrenovated rooms shabby, however if you are happy with a bed and clean bathroom, it has everything you need. My only complaint is that the rooms were a bit dusty. This could be easily managed during the cleaning routine. Other than this, I enjoyed my stay and would return.

Great location. Very much a budget motel. Stayed five nights and the room was not serviced duting that time. The room was OK, the bed good and the hot water excellent. The whole biulding is very much in need of major renovation and repair.

Location was good, walkable to dining areas and water front. Room was run down, carpet threadbare, tap loose in bathroom and tap handle fell off on the hot water tap in shower. Nail strip to hold carpet down was bare and was covered by using a towel. The sliding door to bathroom falls off if you pull it on an angle. No flywire on windows. Fridge had every shelf broken and had solid ice on the element. Luckily we didnt need to use it. Broken tiles in shower with no screen so water covered half the bathroom floor. Beds were comfortable and linen clean

TERRIBLE. DON'T STAY THERE. It is VERY dirty. It is VERY old. No maintenance has been done for years! Front and back door are never locked. Hard to get parking. Front office staff are hardly there. The bathroom is NOT as shown in the booking photos. The bathroom is dirty and small and for 2 days we had a 'waterfall' pouring down the wall and all over the basin when someone showered upstairs - disgusting!
