The Palms Motel- Formerly Flinders Motel

This hotel is like a scene out of Twilight Zone, or the Bates Motel, no wonder they changed the name. A mid week night was $154 but given the state of the motel was extremely overpriced and for $15 more could have stayed in some renovated decent accommodation mid week had I known. Doesn't look like a cent has been spent on it since it's original build. Military style single beds with metal railings sized for a child, no toaster or microwave, no exhaust fan so told to close door to prevent smoke alarm going off, paint peeling, fluorescent light flickering like a scene out of "Saw" in the bathroom, something vibrating in the walls going off every 5 minutes - wasn't sure if this was a scene from Poltergeist or a Sexyland convention in the next room. Walls paperthin so was woken up by motorbikes and cars before peak hour and 3 construction sites surrounding the hotel. Hot water in the shower needed 30 turns to the end to access hot water. The photo is completing misleading. Worst hotel I've ever seen !

Lovely staff. Room basic but also, just easy to exist with the minimalism. Really appreciated access to a microwave & toaster. Great location. Great on-site restaurant.

Was OK for a night stay.

The a/c was noisy. Parking was a bit dark.

Staff were lovely. Rooms very basic but clean. Could use some maintenance and TLC.
