Blue Hills Motel
Fantastic value for money, location is actually excellent being out of the centre but still close. Neighbourhood perfect for some nice and interesting walks. I would definitely stay again. Down to earth, modest, but has everything for a couple of nights stay.

The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, especially with the very cool car stacker. We had a 1 bedroom apartment on level 3 overlooking the park at the rear. It was wonderfully quiet. Excellent location. Highly recommend this hotel.

Salamanca Terraces
Room was spacious & had most of the things you need. Overall rooms are due for an update as floor tiles in kitchen & bathroom were cracked & chipped. Kitchen cupboards also need a few additions like microwave containers, oven trays etc. But overall great location & would recommend.
