The Palms Motel - Formerly Flinders Motel

The girl at the reception was very friendly and efficient. Although it is an older motel it was a good size room and bathroom. It was also very clean.

典型的澳洲老式motel，啥都有，啥都老，但不影響使用。停車方便，緊挨着一家亞洲餐廳，住店可以打折。

Would've perhaps given another star if I hadn't discovered someone had smeared faeces on the back of the bathroom door. It's a fairly ordinary bathroom, made less appealing in having to clean that off. Didn't have a blow dryer which cheesed me off. Apparently you can call them (no-one in reception anyway) and they'll bring one but didn't see any literature pertaining to that so onwards with wet hair. You can tell they're running the place down ... perhaps to pull the whole thing down in the future. Check-in easy but done using wall locks so no human interaction required. Small room, no toaster or microwave or anything useful. Fridge broken and set to Freeze the Tripes Out of Everything, including the pickle, gherkins, eggs, yoghurt and berries. Didn't make for a particularly enticing breakfast. Shower temperature set to Vaguely Warm and there's nothing you can do to heat it up. Hint - don't turn on the cold tap, not required. Location is great, comfortable stroll into the city centre. Plenty of parking. Don't expect 10% off at the Thai restaurant next door - somehow that particular privilege is no longer being extended. Bed very comfortable, clean room other than bathroom door. Would I stay again? Nope! .
