Centrally located with parking makes it an ideal choice for an overnight if you are seeing a play, show or concert.
Was a basic and cheap motel which suited the 5 of us in a two bedroom apartment for the weekend. We were hardly there in the day.
Not the cleanest or flashest but affordable.
Kitchen with jug, toaster, stove top, microwave, fridge and all basic cooking utensils available.
Great location, walking distance to town or water front.
Staff were lovely and helpful when we needed things.
Parking available but very tight and a steep driveway to get up to the carpark.
Beware of the bond they charge. It takes them 5 to 7 days to return you the money which quite annoying to be fair. Parking is extra $15 per night and the parking spot are tinny.

Very central, very convenient. You get what you pay for.
Had to phone a number of times to get checked in. Parking was ok until someone decided to park with their car not in the park properly stopping cars from getting out. Communal kitchen was dirty and not much cutlery same as the room.

Convenient location for the city. There were a few things missing from the room, which were replaced very quickly by the staff. The main annoyance was being awoken early by demolition work to the building next door, but just unlucky timing on our part.
I liked how central it was to everything in the city. The linens were clean and we were supplied with them daily. It was cheap so you get what you pay for. It was a bit dirty (dusty in places and a it was a dirty mess under the bed). Signs of a lack of deep cleans. The shower from the room above leaked onto our toilet. There wasn't enough cutlery for the 3 of us and only the bare necessities in the kitchen. It wasn't a very quiet place and we heard yelling in the night. You have to pay for parking, $15 a night. In general, as I said, you get what you paid for and you make do.
