Great

Solo stay

Ok but the fridges need an update as they all leak or freeze your food (well all 4 in different rooms that I’ve experienced do). This time my towels were changed more than twice in a week which is new and nice! It would be so nice if you didn’t have to check in across town, because that is a mega hassle!

Solo stay

Local to uni which is great, the whole place smells very stale and ?? Of cat litter - every time I’ve stayed it smells the same… SUPER inconvenient to have to go to the other side of Hamilton to get the key card, especially considering that it’s advertised to be local to the uni… if you don’t have a car I wouldn’t recommend this… this would absolutely increase its usefulness if they re-assessed this huge inconvenience!

Beware you check-in elsewhere, all good though. Clean, functional, modern basic room. Newspaper outside in the morning was a nice touch. No bedside lamps or towel rails. A pleasant stay.

Room was clean upon arrival, there is no reception onsite so you have to collect your room key from another motel.
