The bed was comfortable. The sheets were too worn and should’ve been replaced. I had to get clean sheets from the manager. The room was dirty and needed a good cleaning. The only thing good was the price.

Friendly, helpful reception. Clean room for most part. Box-spring mattress damaged in one visible corner, not conducive to reliable maintenance. Other visible damage also. Outside of building needs maintenance as well. No coffee/tea provided. Functional mini fridge with small freezer were convenient, plus small microwave oven. Price I paid was more than price I was quoted by Expedia. Somewhat overpriced anyway for overall quality.

Allowed us to extend stay for a few hours. Hotel is clean, not luxurious. Basic fridge and mic. A 5 min drive into North Sydney. Belle's Home Cooking is fabulous place to eat.
