Not your typical hotel room check-in

This was one of my odder stays. I had to call reception to meet me at the "lobby". They handed me a key and didn't even have me sign a contract for the stay. The hotel looks a bit worn but was clean and secure. The "double" bed was actually 2 twins that weren't level so sleeping was a slight challenge. However, it was a quiet stay and mostly hassle-free

The room stunk of cigarette smoke when I entered, even though the posted sign says non-smoking area. The room didn’t have a window to open, which had been advertised, but the problem was there was no way to air it out. I told the manager, who came in and sprayed a deodorizer, which surprisingly helped a lot, but just masked the smell rather than eliminate it. No face cloth was provided. The room was good in every other way.

Very friendly and hearty welcome and service throughout our stay. We were upgraded to a better room without even asking. Fairly basic building and location a 10 min walk out of town (city centre ends very abruptly, and you find yourself in a semi industrial district) so dont expect fancy sourroundings, hence the good price. Can recommend if you are on a budget and want something solid, clean and comfy, but dont need luxury.

The room we were given was not what we booked. Had a blocked toilet so was moved and was still not we had booked. Bedroom was window was backed right onto a Japanese restaurant. So very noisy at meal times. No room service.

The room was clean, and the staff was especially nice and accommodating. The room was a good size and had a very good shower. The Japanese restaurant downstairs was very good and authentic. I was not pleased with the location of the hotel. Although it is on Colombo Street, which leads directly to the cathedral, it is a long walk, half of it through a not good area. was not comfortable walking it later in the evening. Perhaps there is a bus into town, but I did not investigate.

I had booked a superior studio with kitchenette. After I checked in I discovered that I was not in the room that I had booked. The motel manager offered no apology, blaming Expedia for the error, and due to the motel being full it was only possible to move to the correct room on my second night. As a result I had to eat breakfast out on the first morning, at extra expense. I was offered a free bottle of wine when I moved to booked room, but I could not accept it because I am allergic to wine - and I would not be less critical of the motel if I had been able to accept it. The room I had booked was a superior studio with kitchenette. It was equipped with a microwave, 8 dinner plates, 2 side plates, but *no* bowls. 4 wine glasses, 2 tumblers, 2 espresso-sized cups, but only one mug. 3 knives, 4 forks, but only 1 tablespoon, and *no* teaspoons. A bottle opener, but no can opener. No sharp knife, chopping board or other dishes & utensils. No tea towel for drying dishes (I used a towel from the shower room). Comfortable bed, good shower but a long wait for hot water, good a/c, quiet area at night. The safe in the room is tiny - only suitable to store cash, jewellery or phone-sized items. Free parking is directly behind the motel in reserved spaces numbered 17 to 24, or on the north side of Penbury St. There is a small supermarket next door to the motel. I would not stay here again, but it is probably fine if you are staying in a standard room and they don’t screw up your booking.

You will not get any support from staff if you check-in when they're not there. Heat wasn't working in my room and I called the number and talked to the hotel staff, he said he's sending someone but no one ever came. I tried calling again multiple times after and even Expedia tried reaching out to the hotel staff but they just didn't respond at all. There were stains in the bed sheets and towels and shower was leaking. I'd avoid this property at all costs.

A reliably pleasant stay

We arrived after dark and the manager was already waiting for us. He was friendly and knowledgeable about local food outlets. Free on-site parking is a big plus. The room was, as always, warm and clean. Additional items that would have enhanced my stay – a shower cap and a small microwave.

This hotel far exceeded our expectations! We were looking for simple, clean, safe and affordable for a one night stay, walkable to the city. Our vehicle was being serviced the next day. We thought the room Might be a bit noisy with the hotel being on a Main Street. But our room was super quiet, far back off the main road. The reviews were good, so this was it, Putu is a perfect host. He responded to my call fron the parking at the back door immediately- (the parking is around the block behind the hotel). He was friendly, professional, and offered good advice for dinner then breakfast nearby. The room was bigger than we expected based on reviews and had everything we need. The bathroom beautifully renovated. We would absolutely stay here again! Great value for money.
