Dear Ryoko, thank you for staying with us recently. Unfortunately there was failure with the Server which runs our TV system and may have affected the ability to cast, we worked with our supplier and got this remedied as soon as we were able to, we've verified the system is working as it should.

We’ve now stayed at this property half a dozen times and will continue to do so. The beds in the king standard rooms are the best we’ve found, the bathrooms are clean spacious and have great water pressure. The parking and close proximity to newmarket and CBD is great. I do not however recommend the king room with kitchenette. The beds are springy and unsupportive, bright in the rooms at night even with curtains closed and the bathrooms are inconvenient in comparison.

Dear Cynatra, thank you for staying with us recently and taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback, I can see you had previously stayed in one of our accessible rooms which do have different facilities which are bettered catered to less mobile guests. These facilities have not yet been renovated but will be looked at in the future. We have been replacing all curtains in guest rooms and beds get replaced on our normal replacement cycle however we do follow up when comments are made to see if these are still fit for purpose and can raise with our bed supplier if they are not to standard.

We love staying here it is so close to the city yet far enough away from all the chaos. Sadly we ate at the restaurant and it was well below average. We will not dine there again. The steak and veggies were awful . I ordered the chicken burger and it came with a few chips and was oily and so bland I would have to say one of the worst burgers I have ever been presented.

I did not like where the room was located. We arrived very early in morning. We were told a few hours later our room would be on the 3rd floor. It was not ready yet. Went for lunch and they had given our room away. We had booked a room with a view. Our view was the parking lot as we were put on ground floor underneath a stairway.

Dear Carol, thank you for staying with us recently.

We will better communicate this with guests as to the specific reason why.

We had such a great stay, we came up for a concert at spark arena and it was a pretty good location, 5 min drive and 25 min walk motel was very accommodating the beginning as we needed to swap the size of beds around which they happily organised. The motel was a very good price and we honestly weren’t expecting much but we even got an amazing view of the city and sky tower out of one of the bedroom windows and a view of the harbour off the balcony (it didn’t even state we had a view on the booking so we were stoked) very spacious and parking was easy. All 5 of us were super happy with this motel would stay here again if we go to spark arena. 10/10
