Pros:

Staff and location

Cons:

Building is extremely old and outdated
The pool is eek, would never ever use the eye sore and the poor excuse for a gym was an absolute wreck and closed. Even then still I don't think they should even be able to advertise they have a gym. Its a hole in the wall.
Dish washer was broken and the wash machine broke mid cycle. Not at all cheap for the lack of quality.

Pros:

We could walk to dinner and breakfast easily

Cons:

We were put in a room near a night club and pub. The pub had live music until midnight and the club until 3pm. The pool was too cold to swim in.

Better all in all motels on Nebo Rd.
Pros:

The staff where amazing.

Cons:

practically everything in the room is outdated & or broken/out of order like dishwasher for e.g.. I got the "Deluxe" spa suite & it was disgraceful. 2 old burn marks etched on the base of the spa so the body naturally can feel them with every movement, no exhaust fans or heat ligh/ts instt bathroom, couldnt even crack the windows but the +salightest for some fresh air, air conditioning was stuck on "Optimal" so it would constantly cut in cut off cut in cut off there should also be another lift down at the Wood St end for the people with a bigger mob & elderly that cant & wo t get them to be moving like that lastly i was under the impression there was 2 actual beds but the fold out sofa was no drama at all... besides the mattress being almost non existent.
