We liked the very helpful and very pleasant lady and her assistant at checkin the bedding was way above what we expected and the shared kitchen with the tray and fridge with help youself food left by others was amazing!, Bottom line on seeing the place we thought well one night and were gone after the service and the great nights sleep we feel it is a hidden gem and reserved it for our return to Brisbane.

Not as nice as pictures, but comfortable beds.

The bed was very comfortable. The place was very drab, not at all as shown in pictures. The common areas stunk of cigarettes, pest control was an issue. It is a decent motel, but the high rating is not deserved.
