Needs an update and a cleaning. The staff were happy to help out to fix issues as they arose, however (TV remote wouldn’t work, light burnt out). Always found a parking spot when coming home at the end of the day but often it was the last spot!

The property was well located but really a backpacker venue. The taps were loose and I am not sure what was going on in the front room but I suspect it was a business venture.

Stayed here 2 nights over Aus Day weekend during the Gabba cricket test. Yes the rooms are old and run down. Yes they are a bit dirty and smelly. It was $70 a night. a comfy enough bed and a shower. You get what you pay for. If you can deal with a run down room I reccomend this for the value and location. If you are expecting for $70 a flawless hotel without issues. go elsewhere

How to review this without offending but factual? 1) security- rooms are open passage with no external security door means randoms can walk in off the street looking for the room with the stuff No safety chain on the door very flimsy Bunnings door lock At least could push the bed up against the door to provide some level security 2). Dirty AC - wish could post the photos of the filters and AC unit Has never been serviced or cleaned Since checking out I have developed a painful chest infection which may be a result. Have emailed photos and complaint to the hotel, no reply or acknowledgment!!! Other issues but these the main ones Never again 😡

We stayed one night 14th Dec 2023 (checked in 4pm, visit the city from 4.30pm to 11.30pm, then checked out 6am next day), King Bed Room 102. This is our experience during that time. You cant phone the property, no one answer the phone nor return the call. So you dont know and cant get any info until you go there. Once we went there The Owner/Manager (Chinese Nationality?) was very helpful even though he found it difficult to speak in English. He tried his best. In a very packed condition, the room had one king bed, cloths cabinet, small fridge, water heater Jug, Hair dryer, toilet/showers, tea/coffee/sugar, cups/soccer/plates, shampoo/conditioner/soap, and towels. Quality was average, but ok for the price $100, cleanliness was average (closer to the poor), we saw cockroaches, Bath room/toilet was not that bad, It took a while to get hot water to the showers, Air Con was noisy/vibrating. Window blind to the toilet/bathroom was broken so was not possible to close properly (other side blind wall?) Noisy when people walk in the adjacent corridor, open/close doors, feel bit insecure as the gates/doors are open always to the outside road. No one to look after you during after hours, you are all alone. Doors/locks/windows are not that great, that you can depend for your security. Only support will be 000 if you survive until they come. But, honestly, we didn't have any idea about the safety in that area. We didn't notice anything suspicious. Outdoor Microwave was handy.

The property was nothing like the photos, it was unclean, the bed was terrible, broken window shade, no cups, only 1 glass, fridge door had to be forced to close. Smelt like cigarettes. 3 disassembled smoke alarms in hallway. Shower smelt when turned on. Could see light into the hallway through the door jam. Felt unsafe. Only stayed one night as we arrived late and checked out first thing next morning as couldn’t stay there any longer. Would not recommend!!

Staff was excellent, it is great to stay 1-2 nights. You can hear everything in other rooms. Only annoying issue was the damp towels and damp bed. The owner’s should invest in better tumble dryers.

Did not even get the same room that i booked. Room was so filthy. Rubbish was left by previous guests. Someone's toe nails was left on the sheets. Spoke to the manager about it, he was so rude and abusive. Did not wanna do anything about it and was blaming the expedia website and said we can leave the room and can get half refund. Are you freaking kidding me, how the hell we are gonna find a room in last minute. Seriously, mate if you don't like your job get the hell outta there. If it was me i would've fired you on your first day. I stay in hotels quite often never had to deal with anything like this. This was the worse experience ever. Will never go back there. Go anywhere else but don't book you stay there.

The cleanliness of the room was really terrible. I can tolerate basic facilities, but the hygiene conditions and strong moldy smell were unbearable for my body. With two children in tow, as soon as I walked down the stairs after check-in and before entering the room, I knew it was bad. When I opened the door, I immediately vomited, a natural instinctive reaction. So, I turned around, left, and returned the keys to the landlord.
