Pros: The breakfast was quite good value for $15.
Cons: I felt that the room was a bit dated, and housekeeping obviously do a pretty lack lustre job - when I opened the display book which gives information about the motel, the plastic pocket was covered in food, and there was someones breakfast order still in there from August!!! I had to use a wet face washer to clean off the crusted food, so that I could read the restaurant's menu. The pillows would have to be the worst I've ever encountered in a motel/hotel. They were lumpy, and clearly past their use by date. Shocking!!!

Pros: there was nothing that me or my family liked about forest apartments. I made the worse choice to pick this place to stay. It looks totally different then what it looks on website.
Cons: customer service was very poor, check in time was @1400 but we have to wait for 30mins to get our room ready. check out time is at 10:00 so technically they have 4 hrs to set up room for next customers. We requested to have single beds joined but I was advise there will be $15 charges per night which I felt was ridiculously expensive and useless. Staff was not professional at all.

6.0 Good
Pros: I must say the food was good and plentiful, we only had breakfast but found the service was extremely friendly and the restaurant clean and tidy.
Cons: As we were going to the night Floriard, we asked about getting to where it was being held, the office staff told us about the shuttle bus which we attempted to catch unfortunately it finished at 5pm (they didn't share this gem) and it would have been easier and cheaper to catch a taxi instead of 2 buses - the transport officers were very helpful though. It was very average it needs an update, with strange shower heads and a bathroom that was tired and very very tight when you wanted to use the toilet

Pros: Location. Staff were polite. It was quiet at night.
Cons: The toilet leaked on to the bathroom floor through its plumbing (not over the top) every time it was flushed. The only place to fill the kettle was at the wash basin in the bathroom, even wearing thongs in the bathroom only and stepping onto the bathmat left me feeling uneasy. I politely reported the matter verbally to two staff members. My son and I have both had tummy trouble immediately after leaving not sure if this was down to the room/bathroom or not.

Pros: Breakfast not included, but good facilities to make my own breakfast. Rooms well laid out and comfortable.
Cons: The only real complaint is that the room I was a;located had recently been painted and the smell was most disconcerting. For the last of four nights I was allocated another room which was very satisfactory. I would recommend that when rooms are painted they should not be used until the paint smell has well and truly dissipated.

Pros: Very clean, very comfortable beds. Very convenient location.
Cons: The bathroom looked old, although very clean. The taps leaked, they only required new washers, but things like that should be kept right.
