The en-suite was good with modern tiles. We were pleased to be able to have our room swapped for a ground floor one.
The noise! There was a building site alongside where work - which was very noisy - continued until after 10pm and after that there was still noise. The TV didn't work properly initially and there was no one at reception (closed soon after 5pm) and there was a $50 charge for reporting a 'problem' that was not an 'emergency.' Fortunately, we managed to fi x the problem with the TV ourselves.

Not much… it was in close proximity to the beach which was a really beautiful place to walk and watch sun rise. And right across the street from a large mall. But the motel itself has seen better days.
Everything. Staff seemed pretty unimpressed with the whole situation. The photos on booking are not accurate. We stayed the first night but decided to book another place because the bed was so uncomfortable.

Bathroom was fresh and fairly new
Carpet was old and room really smelled bad when we arrived
Bed was so hard sleep was awful. Was even to hard for my 11 year old who was with me to the point we purchased an air mattress and put it on the floor to sleep on.

Location was super useful for me.
No hot water for showers at all. I asked to be on the top floor for safety reasons but was on the bottom floor with room leading out onto carpark, onto one of the busiest roads in the GC. Additionally roadworks and really noisy.

Location was great.
Bed & pillows desperately need replacing. Plumbing is an issue as whenever someone upstairs showered the noise was unbearable.

Great location, central to a lot of things - shops, cafes, beach etc. Neat and tidy room with comfortable bedding. Staff were easy to communicate with via email and text message.
It would’ve been good for the pool to be open later than 5pm.

Well priced, amazing location & professionally
managed.
Our room was on the ground floor directly out front of the first level stairs. if you wake easy, request not to be roomed here as you will hear other customers coming and going at all hours. Additionally BYO hairdryer as our room did not have one, as previously otherwise stated on the booking.

The bathroom and toilet were both unclean. My son pushed the bed over about 30cm to see if his hat was there and instead there was lolly wraps drink bottles and chips under the bed. Also we found wrappers in under the blankets. The coffee cups were all dirty and the jug. The bathroom exhaust fan had dust falling out of it. The pictures I've attached are only a few of the accommodation.

The motel was in a great location. I was attending an event at the Convention Centre and just needed somewhere to stay overnight. The motel was in close walking desistance to the Convention Centre, Shopping Centre, Restaurants, Trams and Beach.
I didn't expect anything fancy for what I was paying. But, I always expect cleanliness and hygiene. The carpets were stained and there was a visible layer on dust under and around furniture and on power outlets etc. The bedding didn't look or smell fresh. The towel smelt like it had been left in the washing machine too long. While outside of the motels control, there were also very noisy night roadworks in the vicinity too. Letting guests know about this prior to booking would have been helpful. I suspect the contactless check-in is less about Covid safety, and more about not wanting to see guests and hear their complaints face to face.
