I have slept 2 nights in January 2012 there and the service was perfect. The new owners are very helpful and flexible and were able to make our stay perfect.
Hotel is well located; rooms are large, clean and quiet. A bit of renovation work could be done to bring the hotel up to today’s standards.
WiFi is free and available in the room!

While the owners of this motel were very nice and the rooms updated as best as possible, this was not a #1 hotel experience.

Although this is a 50s style building, the rooms are comfortable inside. There is a real kitchenette, but no safe in the room. There is free wi-fi (not common in Australia. There are several eateries within a short walk and a supermarket, but I don't think one should walk out alone at night there. We walked to Nong's on Heartley St. Woolworths and Coles, both of which sell breakfast food and sandwich fixings, are also close.

You are convenient to the main shopping plaza (also 1 or 2 blocks), tho' many stores are shuttered. Still this is a good place to stay. If you are interested in aboriginal art you should also check out some of the art galleries such as Many Hands and Tenneman (in the visitors guide) and the Cultural District with the Central AUstrlian Museum.

We would stay there again.

The hotel is old, and decoration is dark. Room was very clean though. It is located 2 blocks away from Todd Mall, close to supermarkets. Restaurant looked ok, not attractive at all. Even tough Internet is included, they give us 1-hour slots, so we had a little hassle to request a new one when needed.
