What guests think

At The Mark Stays, feedback is mixed: some guests found clean, comfortable rooms and a handy location for dining or the hospital, while many others reported disruptive late‑night noise that made sleeping difficult.

Cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent, with repeated mentions of stained linens, cobwebs or spiders, smoke smells, mould, and broken fixtures, alongside rooms and bathrooms that some reviewers said were very clean. Facilities feel basic, with many stairs and no lift, a front door that sometimes failed, street parking rather than advertised free parking, and occasional Wi‑Fi login problems. Service ranges from helpful to unresponsive, with recurring reports of delayed or incorrect access codes, lack of on‑site reception, and some last‑minute cancellations or relocations. Expect simple, budget lodging with variable upkeep and a higher chance of noise.

Online checking was available that was sent directly to my mobile phone with code access etc. Making it easier to check in at any time. Only odd thing was we had a private bathroom but it was separate to the actual sleeping room so you had two separate codes, but it wasn't an issue

Hard to check in as no reception onsite, there is a bar below that is not associated but that's not clear, unsavoury people hanging around out the front making us feel unsafe and had to park on the street leaving our car near these people. Ended up with loud people in the adjoining room who kept us awake all night with their screaming, swearing and banging on the walls. When we spoke with management they were quite blunt and rude about our concerns and we were made to feel like an inconvenience for being there.

There were far to many codes for doors. I was given wrong codes, the front door was difficult to open and noone said anything about it in pre arrival information. There needs to be some general maintance. Cleaning could be better especially in the common areas. The dryer went all noght and could be heard from the room. The other guests were noisy and very inconsiderate.

Comfy beds and quiet at night. Getting in was a nightmare which took 3 calls to finally get all the 5 codes we needed for the doors. It felt like Fort Knox. Appeared to be newly renovated and was clean but peeling paint, holes in the woodwork, dents in the walls and old almost unusable vanity cupboard in bathroom. Whole premises seem to have had a hard life

The front main door did not close automatically which made the stay unsafe People arguing at 350 in the morning and doing laundry at 4 am was very unpleasant The room was unkept and exposed timber on many frames was disappointing Poorly covered graffiti on walls was also disappointing Pictures on site were not tire to actual room

Save your money! Despite being smoke free, of stunk of smoke. Constant noise of door slamming as doors are heavy. Can hear cars from main road. Stained towels and sheets. Window was broken (hello mosquitos). Shower only achieves skin burning or freezing. Dust all over fan. Marked walls. Needs serious reno, ot just felt cheap and nasty. Definitely not worth over $100 for a night. The only positive i could say was the location in relation to the hospital. And the pub downstairs did a really good meal.

The room stunk of smoke. There was cobwebs on the ceiling with spiders and what I thought was their offspring. I could not turn the tv off. My skin started to itch like something was biting me. I left the accommodation and found another motel to stay in. I rang the contact number and told them of my disgust and that I had left the premises and to consider refunding part of my payment. He said he would ask, I haven't heard a thing. DON'T STAY THERE.

The room was okay however I thought I had booked a room with a bathroom which I was also told I would be upgraded to due to having a young family and I wasn’t. There was no coffee mugs even though coffee tea and sugar were supplied. Other guests were highly disruptive with drinking, yelling and fighting until 5:30am even to the point of needing to call the police
