Staff were great. There is a kitchen there but I didn't use it. I ate in the evenings and was very good value.
It was very good value for money and my room and bed was fine. It had a kettle in the room.

Rooms & bathrooms could do with an update but stay very comfortable for a bloke.
Great little place to stay for a couple nights. Really great for the price a very friendly staff. Adjacent to the Shortland pub where there is really good food
Shorty Hotel is a friendly place, accommodation is clean and adequate. It was a little hard getting to rooms as we had to negotiate stairs. Both of us have disabilities I could not recommend this hotel for people who have mobility challenges.

It was very handy to stay at for a night. Everyone was quite in the motel.
Having a TV, microwave etc and seperate female amenities was good
Bar staff were helpful and friendly
A very comfortable, clean room. Set off the street so it was quiet. Take away menu from the hotel was delicious. Staff were very friendly. We wouldnt hesitate to return on our next stop over.

The location was pretty handy. The room basic but for the money reasonable. The pub, staff and food were great. We had to pay $100 room key/damage deposit which we were not aware of until checking in. Would have been good to know prior.

Rock bottom price for the area. Only really suitable if you are travelling on a tight budget and even then I would only recommend a single overnight stay. The staff at the Shorty hotel are super friendly and the food/drink there is fantastic. In hindsight probably should have spent another $50 for something nicer.
Comfy beds and good bedding. Shared bathrooms below average. Toilets falling apart. Poor lighting. Limited power points. Decent security. No housekeeping. Great bistro food.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Negatives:- The room smelt of its last male occupant. The fridge had not been cleaned out. The carpet was wet in the room by the fridge. The curtains were broken and had come off the tracks. The hand basin was cracked and dirty. Limited channels on the tv.
The main womens bathroom was dated, water leaked all over the floor when previously used and shower stall not cleaned at all. Communal kitchen had no plates or cutlery.
The positives:- the bed was a good quality and comfortable, close proximity to the restaurant and bar, and plenty of onsite parking. Relatively quiet at night.
Very budget friendly and slightly better than staying in a dorm room at a backpackers.
Might be my age but expected a bit more comfort overall.

Heating, bed, linen, hot water etc are good. Non smoking is also good. Parking is good. Expedia indicated free wifi and check in time as 12noon. No wifi. Real check In time is 2pm. Restaurant closed early. Finding a place to get food in the night is difficult.
the food and the pub attached were first rate the facilities in the room were nonexistent - a communal bathroom, no access for patrons with back issues i.e. disabled bathrooms - my wife had to call me to help her off the toilet, ramps for easy access to rooms, parking for guests not given a parking space reserved for their personal use, uneven road surface in car park. We have never before left a motel by 6.00 am because we didn't like the conditions - not even coffee
