Broken EV charger, broken fridge, needs rehab
Booked them over others specifically because they noted EV charger as an amenity and we are on a long trip. EV charger was not working and they didn’t know when it would be fixed. Interiors need an upgrade. Fridge didn’t work (regardless of how the fridge switch was flipped), so we had to toss the food we bought.

Was a very pleasant stay at the Monarch Motel. Greeting staff were brilliant. Was a bit worried when I saw the smallish heater on such a cold day but it heated the room beautifully. Was good value for money and I'd definitely stay here again. Thanks for the ice for my gin and tonic.

Great motel with friendly service and comfortable room. Too far from cbd to walk so ok if you have a car and working in town. Everything was great except the internet could be very slow at times.
