Cheap hotel with a great location next to Hagley park. Easy check in and out with a friendly staff. Bathroom looked recently renovated. Bed was comfy and clean.
Near to nice restaurants (recommend Thai orchid) and a 24 hour convenience store.

The worst and most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed in. DO NOT STAY HERE. Firstly I will provide photos backing up everything I say in this review. There was blood stains and other dirty marks on our bed sheets. The windows had mold all around them and clearly the floors had never been moped as they were also very filthy. The bathroom had no fan in it so after one short shower there would be condensation covering every window in the entire unit and it made the whole place damp constantly. You couldn’t even leave your windows open during the day when you would leave to combat the condensation because both the front sliding door and the back door could be opened by reaching your arm through the open window. The parking area is also a place of concern as you cannot easily park your car between the pillared parking spots. As you can also see in the photos, the fridge was damaged and looked dirty, the bench was also marked with dirty spots and the corners of the room had cobwebs covering it. I have read others reviews and seen the owner arguing back and it shows that he takes zero accountability for how poor of a state this place is in. I really hope he sees this and takes action because this place should not be opened to the public whatsoever. i can only put a certain about of photos for this post so i’ll put more photos in the next one.

Overall cleanliness poor. Maintenance had not been carried out - no towel rail, light bulbs out, no toilet roll holder, stains on duvet, shower leaked and no compendium.

Do not recommend it.
Uncomfortable beds, a very small room but set up two beds in, and on the bed sheet there were some hairs of previous guest left there, we can guess that the motel doesn't change bed sheets for different guests...

My feedback to the manager/owner's response:
If you're the owner or manager, you need to face the issues told by the guests and improve your services to let your guests satisfied, otherwise you may lose guests. I can see you're like sophistry when a guest told you that they're not satisfied with your services, that's why I saw many bad feedback here from the guests. No doubt I was a guest stayed there but it's booked by one person of our family. Why did I give you feedback if I wasn't a guest?! Improve your services if you really care about guest reviews.
