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.

Location to the event we were attending was extremely helpful, but feel it was overpriced considering its age and lack o
Pros:

The location to the event was perfect, and shops and takeaways across the road were ideal.
The Asian cleaning team were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The old man at the reception had a screen saver of a fully naked female on his mobile phone that he was openly displaying.
The facilities were non existent , pool and sauna closed, restaurant and bar closed and the rooms were extremely aged.

Much better than a lot of other similar priced motels in the Eastern Suburbs.
Pros:

It was fairly quiet given the proximity to the highway. It is close to lots of restaurants and cafes. It is close to (a short walk) a cinema, a supermarket and 3 bottle shops. McDonalds is within walking distance.

Cons:

One of the other guests made a loud noise early in the morning and I wanted to strangle him.

It looks tired, but we enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

Very close and convenient to Pinewood Shopping Centre and highways.
Very quiet, ie no highway noise. Old, but clean, spacious bedrooms and fully equipped with kettle, toaster, crockery and cutlery for 2 guests. Bed was comfortable. Overall the stay was quite good and, while it certainly wasn't The Hilton, we would happily stay there again.

Cons:

Just the aesthetics really. The hotel was built in 1984 and looked like it hadn't had an upgrade since then. When compared to how most modern hotels are maintained and look, this place was noin that league. But none of this impacted on our stay there as we slept soundly and it was clean inside the units.

Inexpensive low fuss comfortable base for being in the local area.
Pros:

Fairly good value for money, the location was near the freeway, but the noise was ameliorated by a wall and a stand of well established trees. The poor reviews here weren't warranted in my experience, it was clean and comfortable, and staff made up my room mid-stay, which was nice.

Cons:

There was no free wifi. Reception was understaffed, rooms were small without good common areas for guests to use.
