I dont remember seeing anything about parking, or the lack thereof on tge web page. There is no designated motel parking. Therefore paying for parking was a surprise. $36 a night means one could "afford" to book a more expensive place that actually has onsite parking. The facility was very plain. Still, a good, quiet place with a comfortable bed. Shared shower & toilet, so it was more like a backpacking place.

Terrible stay. Our first night there was no hot water and when reporting the issue we where told "I Know" Moved to another room same issue. Then 4am woken up by kids coming in from party and carried on so loud had no sleep from 4am. We asked for a reimbursement due to our discomfort and we where offered $8.90 what a joke

Room was fine and clean, very basic accommodation but I was not in search of luxury. Good value considering the low price and central location. No exterior windows, so if you like the room very dark at night will be perfect.

This is more like a backpackers with private rooms. Theres a shared kitchen and shared toilets (no toilet in your room) and then a random shower in the corner of the room with no privacy. The staff on reception were unhelpful and lacked customer service. No storage for bags prior to check in or after check out unless you wanna leave it in the corner where it could get stolen. Location is good. Would NEVER stay here as a solo traveller

Aura Hotel is different. The picture in the advertising was not what was in my room. The room felt like a concrete bunker. There were no windows, except maybe for the one in the door that had been covered over with cardboard. That's when I realised the room used to be an office. All of the rooms in my block used to be offices. Some rooms had their own ensuites. Mine didn't. I had to use the bathroom down the corridor in the common room. I had to wait for a staff member to finish using it before I could one morning. There wasn't a mirror in my room or the bathroom. There was no paper towel in the bathroom to wash and dry your hands after using the toilet. The wardrobes in my room were something from a second-hand shop and there was one coat-hanger between the two. There was no chair in my room. I couldn't watch the TV as I couldn't work out how to auto-tune the stations on the TV. The milk froze in the fridge. There were no rugs on the concrete floor. The bed was good. And the room was really dark. So, I slept well. It was cheap.

My recent stay at this hotel left much to be desired. The room was not ready upon my arrival, despite arriving three hours after the specified check-in time. Upon entering the room, I was immediately struck by the oppressive heat and stuffiness and lack of adequate ventilation. The room remained uncomfortably warm throughout my stay, making it difficult to relax or get a good night's sleep. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the room was far from satisfactory and the bathroom also fell short of expectations with an unpleasant odor. Overall, my stay was marred by the uncomfortable conditions and lack of cleanliness, leaving me with a negative impression of this hotel.

Just a weird quirk, but due to the layout of the building, there are no windows. It creates a weird feeling, especially in such a picturesque country with such nice air quality.

The room was clean and tidy, but the walls were paper thin, the guy next door snored like a freight train all night, the floors were noisy when people walked over them in the early hours and late at night, you could hear people’s conversations loud and clear in neighbouring rooms. Extremely basic rooms.

I will never stay here again - a couple came back to the hotel at midnight, talked loudly, played music, and had s*x in the communal kitchen until the early hours. I felt trapped in my room and barely slept.

No windows and terribly loud air vents. Had booked 2 nights but couldn’t stand the prison cell vibes so booked elsewhere. Totally fine if you’re never in the room, and obviously it’s super cheap for centre cbd.
