Value and location
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.

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.

Handy to the tram
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.
