A comfortable, clean and well located hotel with good facilities to self cater.
Pros:

It is in a relatively convenient location, being only a street away from the main shopping district. We were given a map for a short cut to this area to avoid a steep climb up steps. We were also able to check in to our room early in the day which was great.

Cons:

Nothing. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Good stay
Pros:

Location, the apartment was lovely,nice staff easy access and the map given was really cool

Cons:

Only hiccup was getting a message we hadn't paid when we had but was resolved when they made an error. Caused a short time of stress while out and about but soon resolved and the messages were really professional, friendly and sorted out in good timing. Really noisy outside with the CBD but nothing to do with the motel.
