We love staying here it is so close to the city yet far enough away from all the chaos. Sadly we ate at the restaurant and it was well below average. We will not dine there again. The steak and veggies were awful . I ordered the chicken burger and it came with a few chips and was oily and so bland I would have to say one of the worst burgers I have ever been presented.

I did not like where the room was located. We arrived very early in morning. We were told a few hours later our room would be on the 3rd floor. It was not ready yet. Went for lunch and they had given our room away. We had booked a room with a view. Our view was the parking lot as we were put on ground floor underneath a stairway.

Dear Carol, thank you for staying with us recently. Unfortunately there are situations where an assigned room may need to be changed and as we were quite full that day we were unable to move you to along the same floor or higher. We will better communicate this with guests as to the specific reason why.

We had such a great stay, we came up for a concert at spark arena and it was a pretty good location, 5 min drive and 25 min walk motel was very accommodating the beginning as we needed to swap the size of beds around which they happily organised. The motel was a very good price and we honestly weren’t expecting much but we even got an amazing view of the city and sky tower out of one of the bedroom windows and a view of the harbour off the balcony (it didn’t even state we had a view on the booking so we were stoked) very spacious and parking was easy. All 5 of us were super happy with this motel would stay here again if we go to spark arena. 10/10

The unit was old, tired and tiny. The fridge icebox was broken. The pillows were awful. There was an ant infestation. The wind howled through the closed window. The people in the next-door unit were noisy and inconsiderate. We paid $203 a night for this poor excuse for accommodation. We have stayed at this complex since the 1990's but I doubt we will be back.

We were allocated a room in a separate block to the main building, which more closely resembles a motel, with covered outside walkways to the rooms and you can handily park your car just outside. There is a nice restaurant between the 2 buildings, which opens for breakfast if you don’t want to prepare your own. It is situated in a quiet residential area out of the city centre, which helps a good nights sleep, but does mean that is quite a walk to the centre if you haven’t got or don’t want to use your car. We booked a King Bed Studio room and were allocated number B33, which was spacious and had a separate ‘kitchenette’ and bathroom. Everything was well maintained and very clean. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful in planning our visit to the city.
