Motel El Toro Motor Inn (Sydney, Australia)

Talk to the reception staff about your plans, and see what they recommend for activities, sightseeing, and local hotspots to check out. They enjoy sharing their knowledge, and will help direct you to the best sources for tickets, taxi rides, and whatever else is needed.

With this as a base, you can see and explore a lot of the popular and well known gems of this area. It's easy to get to public transit, and very close to shopping, for immediate items as well as for souvenirs.

So far, no other positive opinion has been expressed by the guests of this motel.

Bring ear plugs if staying here, because the noise levels can become quite high, and there's not enough insulation between the rooms to buffer it. You'll also hear the outside and traffic noise, and if your room is near the bar, that's likely to increase the disruptive volumes.

The rooms are not what's expected, even at and especially because of economy pricing. Furniture and fixtures are well past their prime, there's no vibrancy or lustre, and the overall feeling is of ickiness and a reluctance to stay.

Housekeeping needs to be much better, since they don't seem to adequately clean up and refresh the rooms. The laundry needs better washing, the bathrooms show signs of mould, and there's clear evidence of leftover garbage, dirt, stains, and dust.
