747 Motel

I was impressed with the tiny single room I stayed in. It was well organized for a room something like 5/3 metres. Had everything I needed for a good price. We need more single rooms like this particularly near hospitals as my wife was in hospital Could be improved with noise reduction tiles but i think there could be many guests looking for cheap accomodation that would find this suitable

I was sick. I stayed with a mate who was in emergency housing who was kind enough to let me stay with him. At the risk of losing his room because he had visitors. Me . We did some quick calculations and a low estimate looked like this ; 52 weeks X $100 per night a very low estimate = $100x7 days=$700 52x700=$36400 a year ..this was a very low end estimate . Most hotels/ motels are more like 140-250+ which could be 40 - 50 000/year..! So the government via WINZ pays for this ..in the persons name who has emergency housing. Sometimes the costs are made recoverable ..as in ..the client has to pay it back . At the moment a portion like a third of a client's benefit goes towards the costs of emergency housing. The reason I'm going on about this in a review is this : in my opinion, about 50 % of emergency housing providers hotel/motel management show a complete lack of professionalism , care or responsibility in regards to the client and their needs as a guest in the establishment. What can I say ...747 didn't let me down .I was predictably unsurprised to see everyone in the rooms being treated a bit like 2nd class guests . At least I would hope that a 'paying' guest would be treated a bit better than WINZ clients are . Because ...otherwise I could only suggest that you never , ever pay money to stay there . Don't hold it against the 747 . This is like a normal thing in many , but not all, of the emergency housing situations . Some of the hotels etc have kept and maintained the standards of ...well .. a hotel . You know, they look after you, cos that's what you pay for . I thought so anyway.

This place is "okay" but when we first walk in it smelt weird,the walls have Marks on them and also a weird oddly placed bit of carpet on wall? The blinds had mold on them and the window sill was rotting,the bathroom sliding door is moldy and kept hitting the cupboard,the bathroom shower had tape holding the showerhead on the nicest part was the bed side table and the comfy beds will only stay here again if I have to.

Very expensive for what you got. The room felt dirty. Mold in the bathroom. The blinds didn't go down and very very noisy had the worst sleep. The bed however was surprisingly comfortable.

10/10. I especially liked the fact that I could listen in on domestics. I enjoyed getting a fungus infection from the shower and I noticed little touches like a modern art piece in the bathroom that looked like mould. these really brightened my stay there. It is in a great location and I think it was the most enjoyable stay away from home that I ever had. Keep up the good work team

Stayed here once and it was great. Friendly service and very accommodating. Good bang for buck!Rooms: 5/5

The rooms were not of a high standard of cleanliness. The tap over the sink was not attached and we nearly pulled it off the bench each time we turned it on and there were handles missing on the kitchen unit draws so they were unable to be used, the shower had mildew all around the outside edge and THERE WAS NO SMOKE ALARMS IN OUR UNIT.

The room was very compact but if you are by yourself it has everything you need. TV, some kitchen stuff, ensuite. Bed was comfortable. Shower was hot. Couldn't get the heater to work, possibly it was not a heater rather an air conditioner. I should have asked reception. Handy to airport.

Nice tiny room I could live here easily. Shower was amazing! Received a lovely leather bound book from the Buddhist temple..I assume it's free? Hope so I'm taking it home. Room was tidy and clean. Loved it.

Reasonably priced and polite but issues with the room. Half smoked cigarette butt on shelves above the sink. The shower hot water was only just warm. Toggle switch on the main light was broken in half; A lamp above the bed was hanging away from the wall exposing wiring and exposed wiring on the 3 point plug for the heater.
