The furniture and fittings were clean but quite shabby. The place could do with some money being spent on an upgrade to its facilities.

This was my second time staying here. Booked for 2 nights but due to building work going on there. I checked out after 1 night. Could not even get a car park. In fairness they should not be taking bookings while work going on.
Location is great and not far from the city. Price is very fair and found staff friendly.

This hotel is not fresh and new but it is clean and located next to two tram lines. Also well located centrally in the inner eastern suburbs. Reasonable rates so good value.

For a short stay it's perfectly acceptable..Bed is comfortable, TV works and the shower is good..A bit old and tired looking and the outside light was shining through the window all night but for convenience of location for a short stay, I would definitely stay there again.

I found the Pathfinder to be quiet fine . Clean sheets, comfortable bed, newly refurbished..Bathroom was a tad on the tired side but was still fine. Good price, I'd stay again if I was in the area.

Older style motel that has had some improvements. Clean and convenient. Power points on one side of the room didn’t work.
Laura

Convenient location and clean and comfortable but facilities are basic and maintenance required (broken window, no smoke alarm battery, sink plug not right size, landscaping and property untidy)

This was the second time I stayed here. Reasonable price for what you get and handy to two tram lines. Only issue this time was people talking outside my room from first light. Apparently they were making a film in another room. Could not sleep in both mornings as planned.

Delapidated motel. Off milk in the fridge. Peeling vinyl bathroom cabinet. Room paint was dirty. On checkin the receptionist couldnt find my reservation and had a poor manner. At least the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. Off street parking good.

Repairs needed particularly in the bathroom where thongs had been taken off the wall but screws remain. Replace the tiles to give a better impression. Also one has to be a dwarf to be able to get under the shower!

Property is very run down. Bed wasnt made after first of two nights stay. Tv remote gone and no replacement found. Tv manual operation very poor. Only good thing was the shower. Wont stay again.
