The staff is very friendly and always able to help. The restaurant The Cellar has good food.
If you need to do things close to the university the location is not good

Location was great, I didn't try the breakfast
I was in room 36. The basin in the bathroom was leaking onto the wood underneath and then onto the floor. This had obviously been a long-term problem because of the state of the wood. I advised the staff of this and they were going to call the maintenance man but 18 hours later,when I left, he had still not arrived. In addition, the electric plug close to the television set was not working. I felt the facility was very tired compared with the Huon Gulf. Hotel in Lae which was actually cheaper to rent.

A hotel that costs that much should provide complimentary breakfast for it's guests.
There was no water bottle in the bar fridge... water doesn't cost that much. Should have at least a bottle of water in every room

8.0
The room setup, quietness and the privacy.
Overall, I like everything. However, the last time checked-in, the refrigerator wasn't stocked before my room allocation.
I would suggest confirming with the house keeping staff before room allocation to the guests.
9.0
Did not have breakfast. Good location close shopping centers, sporting facilities, health facilities with easy easy access to transportation. Gift shop, hair saloon and Mr Mike's pizza on premises. Friendly staff. Great location.
Shower/bath not suitable for people with disabilities. The management should consider disability access and perhaps redesign one or two rooms especially for people living disability. Disability parking would be great too. Wifi did not work.
5.0
I think the staff were great and security and control made my stay very comfortable. The rooms were spacious enough and would be great had I not experienced slight difficulties with the aircon and TV.
Firstly, I booked online and paid at a reduced rate. When I tried to extend my stay at the same rate I was charged at the standard rate which I felt was a little unfair. I stayed on for a night and sought other options soon after this. Had I been offered the same special rate, I would've stayed longer and I would most certainly choose Shady Rest on my next visit, not just out of convenience, but out of choice.
