Close to amenities. A bit derelict. In great need of reno. Staff pleasant and accomodating but rooms very tired. Threadbare carpet, water damaged walls all around skirting. Very reasonable price however.
Would stay again because of price and convenience and better prepared of what to expect.

Handy to central station
Room a bit run down. Paint peeling, bathroom vanity rotting around the base. Only one blanket between 2 beds, otherwise only a sheet?

The motel room was adequate. The tap in the basin in the bathroom was a little on the "wobbly" side and a couple of the power points were loose.

Horrible
My stay at your hotel was horrible paint chipping of the walls no clock night light we booked a room for 3 people but only got one glass and two coffee cups and not enough coffees and sugar for the three of us and the deck was falling apart
Not to mention the car park thee wasn't much room to get my new car in and coming out my front bumper hit the ground
Over all the amount I paid I'm not happy at all

Best Location In Sydney!
We loved staying here! The cafe attached to the motel is sunny in the morning and makes delicious $5 bacon and egg sandwiches. The location is beautiful. The motel is very run down, but very clean, and keeps the price down!

Staff good facilities not so good
Staff helpful. Place was clean. Close to the city. Lots of eateries nearby. Would be OK to stay overnight but we stayed for three. No laundry, ironing board, etc. No wardrobe. So it became too cramped.

Seedy Stay
Very poor hotel and of low standard. If you have stayed at the Ibis Budget at the airport this is much worse than that. While location was good there are no services (other than a café at the foot of the hotel which was the best part) and parking is extremely difficult. Location is "inner city" which means good access to hotels/bars/restaurants but otherwise "seedy". We initially thought it was "cheap" but you get what you pay for. Don't go there.

The dirtiest hotel I've been in
The room was not made up, wet towels and messy bed, toilet not flushed (!).
Everything in the hotel is incredibly dirty, the banisters/light switches/walls are sticky. The entire hotel smelled damp and muggy. It wasn't cheap, but easily the worst hotel in Sydney that I've stayed at (I'm up every two weeks for work).

Bearable but only just
The room I was given had many problems, not sure whether it was only used because it was a busy weekend. The glass door in the room was smashed although still together. There were no curtains, blinds or window coverings of any kind although nobody looked directly into the room, luckily I get up before sunrise anyway. There was a hole in the bathroom door. There was no shower curtain and holes int he ceiling of the bathroom. There was only 1 roll of toilet paper and so bought my own as the office was closed when I realised. The air con had no remote so couldn't be used, not sure whether it even worked though. This meant I had to sleep with the glass door open because the room was too stuffy when the door was closed. I hoped that the balcony was unreachable but slept lightly so I could hear if someone was trying to get in through the door. It was cheap and I booked late so I didn't let it spoil my visit to Sydney but if you have a choice probably try to stay somewhere else.

Appalling
In Sydney for a conference, booked for 2 nights. When I arrived I was given a room key and some vague directions as to how to find it. Lugged my suitcase up a flight of stairs, no offer to help and no lift. As soon as I opened the door I could smell the mould. Stained carpet, cracked and broken tiles in the bathroom, one cupboard door hanging off in the bathroom. The air conditioner appeared to switch on but made no discernible difference to the temperature of the room. I had to sleep with the balcony door open wide all night to try and get rid of the smell. I checked out the next morning unable to face another night.
