Convenient to our daughter in Reservoir. The restaurant is good, the play area inside is great if you have kids. The included parking is a massive bonus. Shopping centre diagonally opposite.

The bed was really comfortable and the staff were super helpful. Getting a discount in the bistro for being a Motel guest was a pleasant surprise and made a big difference. The food was basic pub food but done well.

The room could be improved with better lighting - ?light globe needs changing above TV, bedside light would be good as took a while to get to sleep due to traffic noise from Sydney Road. Staff were friendly and ensured that I had a quick meal before I attended a function.

Staff was very friendly and food at restaurant was good. Close to airport and rental car returns (15-20 minutes) Bathroom needs serious remodel. Lacks anywhere to place toiletries. Cracked tiles. Looks like it's older than my house. Bedroom area was okay but lacked convenient electrical outlets to plug in. Bed was clean and comfy though. Location is very noisy from truck traffic so not best place of you're a light sleeper. It's not a bad place to stay overall just mediocre but for a night or two near airport it works.

The road is discusting for access to rooms and reception. The walls in the room near the front door had water leakage causing bubbles to form on the wall.Thick dust along wall behind bed. The bed itself was comfortable. The bathroom amenities were okay.

Sandra

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff are excellent but the site is noisy which you would expect given the location. The shower grout had mould stains. The bedding was clean and fresh but the thing that bothered me the most was the lack of power points on the wall behind the bed. I wanted to charge my phone while using it as an alarm as there was no alarm clock. There were no lamps so once I’d finished reading in bed I had to get out of bed to turn off the light which rendered the room pitch black- great for sleeping but not for walking around in the night.
