One night stay on the road to QLD.
Ideal place to break journey to QLD. Quiet, comfortable room and a 5 minute walk to local RSL for a good feed. All we had to do was pick up the key when we arrived.

Clean room. Bed was uncomfortable (2 beds pushed together to form king bed) and strong perfume smell from cleaning products made me sneeze and cough all night. Fortunately the walls are not paper thin so hopefully I didn’t annoy my neighbours too much. Conveniently located.

Lovely
Clean, nice and comfy bed! Super sweet and helpful staff. Even had a tiny French press coffee (and the coffee ofc) besides the two types of instant coffee. Felt they had put a lot of care into the experience of the stay.

Great location. Easy walking to many convenience stores and fast food outlets. Walls are a bit thin and a sliding door was pretty ordinary, but despite this would definitely stay at this location again!
