Good value, quirky suburban stay, comfy bed, basic features in a 70s retro establishment.
Pros:

Quiet, comfy bed, TV worked. Really liked it that staff rang me to see if I was running late (I was) so they arranged AH check in. The AH check in gentleman was a real character too. I also loved the character of the establishment - welcome back to the 70s!

Cons:

Could hardly fit into shower and little room in toilet. Yes, I am fat but not THAT fat. My car park was covered by neighbouring foliage but as I had, by chance, pruners in my car, that problem was soon solved, but it was awkward getting out of the car first time - prune your trees!

Generally the room was satisfactory - the bed was clean and comfortable.
Pros:

We didn't have breakfast

Cons:

There were no drinking glasses in the room or fridge. Also, no hand towel. One of the bedside lamps didn't work - globe was probably blown.

It served our purpose.
Pros:

Guest laundry was an unexpected bonus. Rooms were large, quiet and the aircon/heating worked. The outdoor table and chair was worth sitting at, but it all needs to be cleaned up.

Cons:

The shower head needs work. There was rubbish under the bed. Two sets of plates and cutlery and a microwave would have improved our stay considerably - it's really a motel rather than a hotel and should have the facilities to match.
