Staff were friendly and they looked after my bag when I arrived early which was appreciated. Room was 2 flights up and no lift. The place is old and dated but comfortable enough if you are looking for a cheaper option. Breakfast was bread for toast (which had mould) and an orange juice, tea bags etc . Corn flakes in a packet and milk in fridge. For $150/night I think there’s better options available.

When we got to our room we found as well as having cracks in numerous walls the room was filthy and it smelled as if someone had been smoking either in the room or on the balcony with the door open - after an hour of sitting in the room, even with the balcony door open, we felt we weren't breathing normally. We are both non-smokers and so this was very noticeable to us. It was stated on our booking confirmation that our room was non-smoking Along with a spiderweb beside the air conditioner there was black dust around the sides and bottom of it (I didn't look on top). There was noticeable dust above the doorframes and in the bathroom. One of the pillowcases on the bed was stained and very thin - we didn't investigate the bed any further. As far as I could see the continental breakfast was two packets of cornflakes that were sitting on top of the microwave and they didn't look that appetising, and the thought of eating in that room - that wasn't going to happen. We were offered another room but we just wanted to leave, it was not a pleasant experience. The young lady at reception was very apologetic and said she would talk to the manager about a refund, although wouldn't be able to get that night refunded. We got 50% of what we paid, which we agreed at the time because we were in the heat of the moment, whereas was that enough as that room was not fit for purpose

I would stay at Arden Motel again, it is close to the CBD and I was able to walk to shopping and the theatre. The parking is a little bit tight but it is free which is rare in the city. I appreciated the free breakfast in the room, it was very cute with corn flakes and bread, along with a full bottle of milk and orange juices. This was very nice to start my morning. The room is a good size and I liked the balcony. It is a little bit noisy with people outside, and could do with some easy upkeeps like replacing the kettle with the broken lid, rusty toilet paper holder and duck taped hair dryer.
