Unsafe.
Pros:

Nothing, completely unsafe.

Cons:

The whole facility. It shouldn’t be offered in a website like this. The fact that the fire hydrant says “please stop cutting the hose” and the police banging on the neighbours door at 3:30am because they stole a car. Regardless if it’s value for money, safety was not met.

Value for money good for one or two night's
Pros:

As the name says Econo so it is cheaper. Rooms are spacious and clean. Great bathroom but they do not clean the rooms or replace towels or make up beds. You can get new towels but have too to reception yourself. All good as it is a cheaper stay so value for money. If you want it all done for you go somewhere else if you li k e a clean cheap pkace tostay book it.

Cons:

Nothing, don't expect premium service for minimum price.

Thanks for the accommodation
Pros:

The rooms are VERY spacious. The bathroom is beautifully renovated and the pressure in the shower is wonderful. It was a warm couple of days and the air-con did a great job.

Cons:

The bed was very uncomfortable. No iron or ironing board. It is obviously not a NO SMOKING facility as we could smell cigarette smoke throughout the night and even more so each time we walked out the door.
The place may well have been temporary accommodation during the bushfires (not sure) but there were a couple of dogs barking ALL NIGHT in the rooms right at the bottom of the stairs below our room.
The same dogs (one a staffy) sat at the window of that room, barked loudly and lunged at the window each time we walked past the room.
