Location, very close to shops, restaurants and cinema, blocked out blinds, wifi great speed for work (remote) and study
Some pillows were flat and spares were lumpy, mattress was ok not great for people with back/spinal injuries. Wish the outside light room 28 would turn off overnight so the bright light seeped thru the top of the blinds. Awoke at 6am 18/10/24 and it was pouring down with rain when I got up i noticed water was running underneath the door into the room, making the door area on the inside which is vinyl material a high fall risk hazard if customers aren't paying attention.

Retro kitsch court drive up motel but with absolute attention to detail in that the tiles and laminate and vertical blinds are all intact originals with hues of pink but the bathroom fittings are all brand new, everything is freshly painted spotlessly clean and a tub of crockery and bikkies is provided on top of the microwave. Close walk to everything.
For the price this was perfect for an overnight stay on the way to Adelaide. No faults, it is what it is. We were up some stairs, so if this is a problem ask for a ground floor unit.

Very well-priced for its location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room had only a very small fridge/freezer, but the staff was happy to accommodate couple of our items in the Inn's own freezer.
The Inn and room are dated, with tight bench top space. We stayed 2 nights, but no lactose-free milk was provided despite requests made at time of booking and acceded to at check-in. Manager claimed he "forgot"?!

Very central just like its name. Its a budget busting motel and one of the cheapest, just the way I like it. It may not have all the bells and whistles but the essentials are all there like tea and coffee making facilities, electric jug, fridge, good bed with electric blanket and the place convenient to cafes and shops well within walking distance.
Door lock and knob very hard to operate, needs replacing. People smoking outside our door and the smell finding its way into our room. Not much the motel can do about that I know. Damned annoying all the same.

Clean tidy. Although a bit outdated the motel was within walking distance to where we had our function(.Melbourne cup) So was very handy. Value for money. Does although get very busy during the evening as for the price seems to have a lot of workers staying but having said that it was very quite. Car parking is limited. Overall was happy and will be rebook if needed

The location was convenient and easy to get around the city. The facilities were great. You would have everything you need to make you feel comfortable like home (home away from home)
The smoking thingy. As we arrived, there are "No Smoking Signs" in front of every single room; but there were other customers sitting/standing right in front of their rooms and smoked. It was so uncomfortable. I would expect that those smokers should have a designated area to smoke (which is away from those rooms).

It was clean and comfortable. Well equipped for a short stay - microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge. Crockery, cutlery tea coffee milk and biscuits!! Bed was comfy. Staff were nice.
It was a little dated and overlooked a car park. However I only stayed two nights and it’s a budget hotel so being dated didn’t really bother me.

Excellent location. As the name suggests it really is central. Very helpful and friendly receptionist upon arrival. Facilities pretty standard and for budget accommodation fulfilled my needs. Goof for a short stay.
Property is aging and could probably do with some maintenance at some point. Bed cover dusty and didn’t smell fresh. Blinds smelt of old smoke. Some unsavoury types hanging around and being quite noisy and smoking. I heard one woman saying she lives there. Didn’t seem to be able to keep their voices low even at 3am. I did manage to sleep though so it wasn’t all bad.

The location was the best. It was in the centre and close to shopping centres, viewing areas, restaurants and family entertainment areas.
You could hear people talking outside while sleeping. I know this is how the place is designed and it will happen. Wish I had the upper rooms, may be this would have been less.

Very welcoming, helpful host ( JB, thanks for your kindness), super comfortable bed, good Wifi, excellent shower, very handy microwave, fridge and kitchenette area. Very clean. Easy parking just outside the room and short walk to Commercial Street, pubs and shops/ supermarket. Despite proximity to town centre it was quiet and we slept very well. Well-heated on a cold, rainy night.👍 Thanks for a great stay: we will return and recommend to friends.
This is just an added luxury since we have one at home, but an electric blanket on the bed would have been perfect! However the reverse-cycle air con was more than satisfactory to warm up the room, so it’s not really a criticism.
