This motel is located write I from of the hospital. No shops or dinner around. 7 min drive to CBD/Plaza. Place is dirty, noisy and have extremely poor bedding. Issue with a water pressure is really annoying. All the shampoo and liquids are empty or they are in re usable bottles. Bedding is old, and super uncomfortable to sleep on. No window insulations or perhaps plaster walls, so you can hear all the cars running the whole day and night. I could perhaps deal with everything, but dirty place. Not recommended

Clean, budget rooms but very noisy. The main issues were: - the room smelt like cigarette smoke - insufficient lighting in the room, so made it difficult to work - thin walls, could hear the neighboring guests talking - helicopter transfers from the hospital sound like the helicpoter is in your room due to close proximity to hospital Positives: - handy location to hospital - plenty of on site parking Was charged a corporate rate of $144 but then saw online that the rooms were $100. Not a great experience all around. I will not be back.

My recent stay at this motel was a complete letdown. The room was small, carpet dirty and the bathroom was filthy. The receptionist adverted our room without letting us know and just at 7:0 clock in the evening he told us to leave before 10 am tomorrow as he was fully booked. We requested him but he was not considerate. We had to find and shift to another airbnb the same night as we were working in the hospital the for the next morning. I wouldn't advise anyone to stay here.

The room was so dirty and had a very unpleasant smell. The duvet on the bed was dirty with good marks, I had to was the plates and cutlery before I could use, as they had left over food on them from past guest. I ended up purchasing cleaning items from the supermarket to clean the bench, desk and side tables. The seat of the toilet and the surround had urine splashes, not cleaned. Would not stay here again. I had to use the facecloths and towels to clean, see photos The owner should be ashamed of such poor cleaning standards.
