Pros:

The location was quite strategic; very close to bus stop - easy to find. There are nearby takeaway food shops - so when we arrived after hours, we could still buy some food for late dinner. For affordable prices, the quality was expected.

Cons:

Overall, cleanliness is decent. It can be better. The shower head was too short when the bathtub was too high - taking a shower was a little bit awkward. Getting out of th3 bathtub after shower was almost dangerous since it's slippery and no handle to hold on to.

Spacious motel with large carpark and ground floor units!
Pros:

Great spacious parking and all units were on the ground floor so no steps to carry up a suitcase!

Older style unit but very comfortable and I had a great night sleep! And was great to have a water bottle in the fridge and cookies with the tea bags etc.

The shower took a bit to get the temperature and pressure right, but once that was right the shower was great!!

Good location, Very close to shops and the motorway! Although this is on a busy road there was no noise during the night.

Cons:

A bit cold, but there was extra blankets and a electric blanket available.

The front door was hard to open, I think this was due to the carpet but it worked out well because it meant the door stayed open while moving luggage etc without the door shutting and locking.

Just didn’t feel safe or clean
Pros:

Nothing really

Cons:

Very tired room. Has not been renovated in a long time. Mold under the mat in the bathroom. Filled up with gas across the road and realised that the area has many dodgy people living near by. As such did not feel safe. No way to lock the room from the inside. No duvet on the bed. Just outer blankets that seemed in clean
