Best Hotels with bar in Burnside

Room was well appointed and very clean. Comfortable bed and good TV - important for me as Roger Federer's last match as a professional tennis player was being live streamed on Sky Sport. The game went past 10 am and my request for a late check-out was warmly accepted. When the match carried on until after 11 am, everyone was so understanding. Great friendly staff make a motel special. Location is also great as close to airport but more like a residential street with a great cafe opposite than a commercial setting.

The front desk was changed to the hotel next door. What should I do if I don’t understand English? The receptionist was a one-year-old woman at the time of check-in. She was very cold while eating. She was asked to provide a free drop-off service in the early morning of the next day, saying that the flight was too early, and they would not drop-off until 8 o'clock. At our request, I helped to book a taxi at 6 o'clock the next morning. The taxi did not come. Fortunately, I could speak English. I contacted the taxi company in time and almost missed the flight. The hotel’s facilities are good, but such poor service is disappointing😔

We arrived on midnight flight and selected Gold Band taxi to motel as recommended by manager in order to receive 10% discount. Cost from airport to motel over $20 – not sure if or where discount was applied there. The room was a little disappointing, smaller than anticipated and large cobweb hanging from ceiling in kitchen, right in the middle of passageway. We were kept awake the rest of the night and next morning by a bright outside light shining in from the motels next door, but mostly due to excessive traffic noise. Trucks and cars obviously using Roydvale Ave as major thoroughfare from around 4am onwards. Manager was very good however and took us to airport the next day in the shuttle free of charge, so please don’t be put off staying there. Maybe just take earplugs and sleeping mask!
