I just needed to stay for a night and I think this was really good for the price. Would definitely stay again. Didn’t spend any time in the area. I’m not sure what the location is like but great for one night.

Not your typical hotel room check-in
This was one of my odder stays. I had to call reception to meet me at the "lobby". They handed me a key and didn't even have me sign a contract for the stay. The hotel looks a bit worn but was clean and secure. The "double" bed was actually 2 twins that weren't level so sleeping was a slight challenge. However, it was a quiet stay and mostly hassle-free
There was no detergent for washing the dishes
The shower needs a good clean
Did not like having to wait on Colombo St for person to check us in
Room clean and spacious.
He fixed the Heat pump so all good
good parking
The room stunk of cigarette smoke when I entered, even though the posted sign says non-smoking area. The room didn’t have a window to open, which had been advertised, but the problem was there was no way to air it out. I told the manager, who came in and sprayed a deodorizer, which surprisingly helped a lot, but just masked the smell rather than eliminate it. No face cloth was provided. The room was good in every other way.

The area was a little industrial, hotel was at the back of a business, no windows
Very friendly and hearty welcome and service throughout our stay. We were upgraded to a better room without even asking. Fairly basic building and location a 10 min walk out of town (city centre ends very abruptly, and you find yourself in a semi industrial district) so dont expect fancy sourroundings, hence the good price. Can recommend if you are on a budget and want something solid, clean and comfy, but dont need luxury.
You will not get any support from staff if you check-in when they're not there. Heat wasn't working in my room and I called the number and talked to the hotel staff, he said he's sending someone but no one ever came. I tried calling again multiple times after and even Expedia tried reaching out to the hotel staff but they just didn't respond at all.
There were stains in the bed sheets and towels and shower was leaking. I'd avoid this property at all costs.

Room was spotless, staff excellent. Room was a little crampt, very little room to put clothing. More in the way of plates and cutlery would have been helpful. Otherwise very good.
The room was clean, and the staff was especially nice and accommodating. The room was a good size and had a very good shower.
The Japanese restaurant downstairs was very good and authentic.
I was not pleased with the location of the hotel. Although it is on Colombo Street, which leads directly to the cathedral, it is a long walk, half of it through a not good area. was not comfortable walking it later in the evening. Perhaps there is a bus into town, but I did not investigate.
The room we were given was not what we booked. Had a blocked toilet so was moved and was still not we had booked. Bedroom was window was backed right onto a Japanese restaurant. So very noisy at meal times. No room service.

I had booked a superior studio with kitchenette. After I checked in I discovered that I was not in the room that I had booked. The motel manager offered no apology, blaming Expedia for the error, and due to the motel being full it was only possible to move to the correct room on my second night. As a result I had to eat breakfast out on the first morning, at extra expense.
I was offered a free bottle of wine when I moved to booked room, but I could not accept it because I am allergic to wine - and I would not be less critical of the motel if I had been able to accept it.
The room I had booked was a superior studio with kitchenette. It was equipped with a microwave, 8 dinner plates, 2 side plates, but *no* bowls. 4 wine glasses, 2 tumblers, 2 espresso-sized cups, but only one mug. 3 knives, 4 forks, but only 1 tablespoon, and *no* teaspoons. A bottle opener, but no can opener. No sharp knife, chopping board or other dishes & utensils. No tea towel for drying dishes (I used a towel from the shower room).
Comfortable bed, good shower but a long wait for hot water, good a/c, quiet area at night.
The safe in the room is tiny - only suitable to store cash, jewellery or phone-sized items.
Free parking is directly behind the motel in reserved spaces numbered 17 to 24, or on the north side of Penbury St. There is a small supermarket next door to the motel.
I would not stay here again, but it is probably fine if you are staying in a standard room and they don’t screw up your booking.
