Bien como hotel de paso, no para estancia larga
Pros:

Nos dieron un apartamento súper amplio. Tiene parking gratuito en la puerta. Solo usamos este hotel por su ubicación relativamente cerca del aeropuerto y fue un acierto. Descansamos muy bien en esas camas. Silencioso.

Cons:

Un hotel un poco 'desangelado', tipo hostal de carretera en las afueras. Por lo demás, muy bien.

Pretty rough looking crowd / guests. More of a one night stand motel joint. Did not feel comfortable at all. Checkou
Cons:

The room was terribly small and very stuffy.
No opening windows.
Three people crammed in one room with absolutely no room to move at all!!
Bistro was closed over Christmas.

A Comfortable Stay
Pros:

Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff.
Best shower I have had in any motel (except no hairdryer).
Very quiet, considering it is open to 4am in the club area.
I was most impressed with the complimentary drink coupon upon arrival. However, the restaurant was closed, so had to sit in the bar/pokies area to enjoy this.

Cons:

Advertised restaurant to be open on the website (part of why we booked here). Only to find out (after check-in, dressed and ready to enjoy a lovely meal), that the restaurant closes over Christmas/New Year. I was not impressed as this was NOT stated on the website. In fact, I opened the website page and it still had 'Restaurant open'. I suggested that the management change this for future travellers to know.
I also was unimpressed that the room did not have a hairdryer. I couldn't ask at reception as they did not open until 10am so couldn't get in. Might sound like a simple thing, but I don't know many motel rooms without a hairdryer. Most women, myself included, don't want to carry excess bulky luggage which is why having hairdryers in motel rooms is always well received. I would strongly suggest add hairdryers in the rooms. I would also suggest add complimentary biscuit packs ( like all other motels) to the Teabags and coffee. Simple thing to do, but makes a HUGE difference.
