Really nice little motel - exceptionally friendly and helpful front desk staff. If you enjoy a walk then a couple of km in either direction will take you either to the South Bank or the free ferry at the bottom of Kangaroo Point which is a great way to see the city. Beds are very comfortable and the only negative is there road next door can be a touch noisy - although you can request a room at the other end of the complex. Would definitely stay here again.

Dear Tim!We are immensely grateful to you for taking the time to leave us a kind and detailed review. We are very glad that you found our staff friendly and helpful. It is very motivating for our staff to have their efforts appreciated and your kind words inspire us to do more. I am thrilled to know you enjoyed the walks to the South Bank and the Kangaroo Point and that you found our beds comfortable. The disadvantage to our location can be noise, but we try our best to accommodate our guests in quieter rooms, and having a chat with us before arriving is the best time to get it all sorted!Thank you so much once again Tim, and we are eager to welcome you whenever you choose to stay with us again.

It was noisy as hotel was facing to the outer of hotel/road. All apliances were in working conditions. No circuits next to beds. Only next to TV which wasnt useful.

Hello Berdi Berdiyev!Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us detailed feedback on how we can improve. We are happy that you found our room clean, our facilities to be fully functional, and our free-onsite parking useful. We are sorry to hear that the noise from the road disturbed you, we are centrally located on the Main street, Kangaroo Point, just a short walk away from the city as well as the South Bank, which may mean that sometimes it gets a little noisy. We do have some recently refurbished deluxe studio rooms with plenty of power points by the bed, a self-contained kitchenette, and a clean, modern feel for that extra bit of comfort. Please give us a call next time you choose to stay with us and we can offer you these rooms and improve your stay experience. Kind Regards,

There was no lift and my room was on the second floor and the carpark was in the basement so it was quite the trip up and down. There was also no bedside lighting so you had to turn off the lights then make your way to the bed in the dark. The rooms are spacious with a seating area and a TV but the curtains weren't full blackout and nor was the bathroom door.
