The service was excellent but the place was tired. Very clean but things such as the iron, and the cooking utensils need updating. Over all it was just sufficient.

There was a pool advertised but it was not available and had not been for years by the look of it
My room was clean we love it we enjoyed how quiet it is and welcoming great service , parking omg you can park anywhere and very handy to the places I was there for and freedom feeling.
A refreshing change from previous place I had been regularly using. Easy access, with good parking. Short walking distance from mall with good bars and restaurants. Unfortunately had a room with a dodgy heater (lucky it wasn't too cold). Manager was helpful
Nice clean tidy accommodation, handy to shops.....

I would describe the general condition of the property as well worn. Generally it was clean, however walls were very scuffed and there was a definite odour
Disappointed that when I booked the motel it came up on Expedia as 100, but then charged 170? The motel was expensive for what it was, the room smelt a bit damp, and there was a lot of traffic noise.
Large room with a comfortable big bed. Shopping within walking distance. Very clean and tidy. In a quiet area, but a lot of noise late at night from other guests outside their rooms smoking and socialising.
Expensive considering the location, but it was close to the retirement village where my mother lives.
Rooms were immaculately clean with all comforts and conveniences for a 3 night business stay. Friendly helpful staff and opposite a good mall. Recommended

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Close to Botany town centre
Free parking, free milk, tea & coffee, a reasonable size of room, the staff offered us a ground level room (so that we didn’t need to take stairs with heavy luggage) and free WiFi access - awesome
The fridge and heater were a bit noisy, furniture was slightly old fashioned
