Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Unit was very small indeed with only two chairs at the table to sit on - a limitation given the room was booked as suitable for three people. Beds were extremely soft. Unit is tidy and a little worn as might be expected for relatively cheap price. People are allowed to smoke on the balcony directly outside the units, which is unpleasant.
Difficult to provide a wholesome review, as we arrived after hours and left first thing in the morning.
Host was very accommodating with late check-in, hassle free thru lock box.
Host happened to be still up and welcomed us with Wifi password :)
Room was nice, spacious and very clean.
All up, definitely accommodation I can recommend.
Thanks

The bed had a broken leg, we spent 3 nights sleeping down hill until we investigated that the 3 books used to hold the corner of the bed up had fallen off!!!! 4th night slept straight
I stayed for 5 nights. Slept super well as despite being by a main road, the windows kept most of the noise out. Staff were super helpful and away from the main road, leafy suburbia in Spring was a beautiful walk.

We spent 4 nights in a 1-bedroom unit which was comfortable enough for our needs. Everything is a bit dated but functional., & we were able to heat meals, do laundry & sleep well. Access to & from everywhere we wanted to go was easy, especially once we worked outa "back route" to Mcfaddens Street!
Last-minute booking via Expedia, but possibly one of the fastest-ever check-in. Second-floor room, one back from a busy road – remarkably quiet. The room and bathroom condition.1st room on my trip with UTH milk potals (remember to buy milk before arrival)
Overall, very clean and comfortable. It could even be better if the room was not smelling of cigarette smoking. I will be happy to stay there and recommend it highly.
Over the two nights that we stayed there we had no issues with the property or staff. Complementarys provided such as everyday cleaning of the bedroom and many other things
Fantastic.
One of the best, if not the best, motels I've stayed in.
Spacious.
Clean.
Super hot water - Absolutely best shower.
Big tv
Easy parking.
Quiet, even though it's on a main road and I'm a very light sleeper there was no traffic noise.
Quiet effective A/C.
Owner is s great guy.
Definitely staying here again.
