We felt like the staff here went above and beyond the norm during our stay here. At one point the desk manager loaned me his personal phone to order a pizza (from Pizza Paradise, also good) because my phone wasn't working. They gave us good advice on sights and events around town. The housekeeping was friendly and efficient and the room and hotel grounds were very well kept. We stayed 2 days at the start of our visit and 2 days at the end.

Clean room, decent size bathroom, micro wave, iron, fridge, AC ETC were the amenities. Bus to go to Westfield and The Crossing mall is literally outside the motel. Friendly people in CHC generally. There is a very big park about 5/6 mins walk when you turn left from the motel. Metro service is good and cheap. One can get a day pass for 10 dollars from the bus terminal or by cash on the bus.
