Disliked: Staff & service
Overall the stay was okay and comfortable and had what we needed for the night.
There was no reception on site but the janitor happened to be in the back and was able to contact owner (?), get our room key and send him a photo of our ID (kinda seemed like a sketchy process). The room is in an older building that had public access from downtown. Not soundproof at all as it’s regular wood doors along a hallway. But overall okay considering the low cost of the room and last minute booking.

Even though i paid for parking, there wasn't always one available, especially at night.
Couldnt sleep when upstairs tenants were having party and stomping on floor which shakes bottom unit.
Only one washing machine between all units which was leaking and draining down the driveway.
The only positive part is its affordability and availability at short notice.
Worst motel I have ever paid to stay in. So filthy I got them to mop bathroom/kitchen before we could move in. Staff don’t speak any english so you have to call a number then that person translates for them. So rundown! DON’T STAY HERE! If I could give minus stars I would! Again, DON’T STAY HERE!

If you only want to sleep
The room was ok for the price. The bed was comfortable and the TV did work. Under my visit they were not good to clean or empty rubbish, just left a new towel in room. Did never see anybody in reception.
Could hear doors banging, showers turning on and toilets flushing all night. Bed was ok but room was very tired and not inviting at all. Location and carpark were convenient
It only had a sooap despenser on the right of the hand basin whike towards the left away from where it needs to be was t showa (needed to pur hase a soap for convenience) also bed right nek to t window a cold draft was prominent n constant
We felt the pictures online were not the same as those we actually ended up with. We had been recommended this by a friend, and were disappointed.
There were no extra blankets, pillows, or even a chair and small table to put things on and have one of the 3 booked guests to sit on, aside from their bed.
It does not look ANYTHING like the picture! At least not from the front! There was no-one there - they operate it remotely. The entrance hallway smelled old and musty. The bathroom needed a good clean / renovation. The bathroom door didn’t fit properly so you had to slam it to get it to close. The extractor fan and several lights didn’t work. The net curtains and room in general needed a good clean. As we went in the room in mid afternoon the curtains were all closed, not inviting. The beds were very soft, but surprisingly I slept well. It was cheap and very close to bars and restaurants.
I booked a Budget SINGLE bed ROOM in the Lodge:
The K/S bed was very comfortable, and the linen fresh & clean:
Own bathroom was a huge PLUS, and it was very adequate. Great shower:
A small fridge & electric jug was nice to have:
Some basic cutlery would be helpful. Only one teaspoon provided:
A bowl for cereal would be helpful:
A glass & mug provided, but mug had chip on rim:
The cleanliness of room and bathroom could be a lot better. I used many Anti-bacterial Wipes and I left both rooms far cleaner than I found them:

You get what you pay for with this one. Great location .
Bad service. Had to pay for parking even though it's not a hotel. Wasn't told that only credit cards are accepted, and that Debit Visas would be declined which is the most bizarre thing I've experienced as I pre-paid for the room with it. We paid cash and they didn't even have change.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I liked the proximity to restaurants/cafes/venues.
I liked the quietness and the very comfortable bed.
Very convenient & safe parking for an additional payment of $15.
The handwash/bodywash/shampoo would be preferable in pump action containers. The present ones were hopeless.
the photo shown on adverts is not really the lodge, it is the house at the back of the main building. This building is old and in need of serious renovation. .All the linen was very good and clean. I got the cheapest unit I could find as I was on my own and only needed a bed to sleep in for a few hours. So it served its purpose.
