El Toro Motel

I was travelling to Sydney for New Year's Eve and, of course, finding an inexpensive hotel for this time can be quite tricky. However, El Toro did give a good offer and having booked the hotel much earlier in the year really helped. I do not expect much from "motor inns", but this one was well equipped with a bar, mini ******, and its own takeout restaurant that was open late. Its location is about 10 - 15 minutes walking from Warwick Farm station in Sydney, so it is somewhat out of the way from most things, which may be why it was less expensive than other locations. The room was very nicely prepared. There were some noticeable improvements made to the room I had and it looked very well presented. However, there was a concerning crack in the wall neighbouring the next room, but nonetheless, it did not become an issue to worry about for the trip. The biggest problem I had was with ants coming up from behind the bathroom sink; although thankfully in small numbers each time, they were continuing to appear throughout the trip, but at least they remained in that particular area of the bathroom only and never sought to migrate to other parts of the room. However, on the day of checking out, I noticed a lot of ants coming into the room via the gap under the entrance door, so I had to be somewhat quick in heading out. Although the ants appearing is quite the concern, I still gave this location 3/5 for cleanliness because, for the most part, the ant situation was isolated to a singular spot in the room and the rest of the room was well maintained. The motor inn will very likely rectify the situation with the ants rather quickly and will seek to make repairs to the wall. It does look like it has more recently been making efforts to improve, so I anticipate it will continue getting better in the future.

Reasonable prize and generous room size, it is clean not fancy but well maintained. 

Somehow the service was not okay

It was fine for business trip
