Once I entered our motor inn room, I noticed that the smell of this room was same as my hostel years ago in another part of Australia. I guess Australians use some sort of similar or same detergent, which make me have the feeling of going back to my hostel in Toowoomba. Yes, my nose is very sensitive.

The room is equipped with a fridge, and anything that we needed (except forks, spoons and kitchen). Most importantly, the concept of the motor inn is interesting.

- Although the room is not really big, but there are chairs and a table.

- Soon it became like this where SiewPeng and I put some stuff on the table and chairs. :p

- We had a window next to the cupboard.

- Looking through the windows, we could see our neighbour. Did you notice the dried plant? You can find the detail of it here.

Can you see that there is a car right ourside our room?  This design is called a motor inn. Motor inn is a hotel for motorists, which provides direct access from rooms to parking area. I like this design. Compared to our normal hotel or house, we need to walk out from our room, walk along the corridor, take a lift or walk down the staircase, then we have to walk out from the main entrance, only then we can get ourselves out of the building. Whereas from our motor inn room, we can touch the sky once we open our door.

- Once we opened our door, we can see another motor inn room, and behind it there is a place that sells cars.

- Our bed.

- Red curtain, bed sheet, and the door.

- There were a fluorescence light above each of our beds. It was too bright, and we switch it off while we were sleeping.

- The tap water was not labelled with red and blue colours.

We can’t find a plain mineral water sold at the receptionist office. All of the bottled water are flavoured. The nice lady told us that the tap water is good, then I remembered years ago I did drink the tap water without boiling it which we can’t do that in Malaysia.

-Washroom.

There is a swimming pool, but we did not have time to swim there. Generally, the services provided was excellent except the receptionist working hours is too short. Our flight was early and I requested for an early checkin, we have waited for about one hour from 7am to 8am before we can check in. When we check out at midnight, we just put the key through the hole underneath the door of the receptionist room.

Booking of the Motor inn

We went to travel agent to have our visa done, and we asked the travel agent to check the hotel as well. But most of them was above AUD$300 per night. Wow… We desided to find it ourselves.

I search the internet for the hotel and I called a the hotels in Perth using my mobile, and surpricingly the rate was only RM 0.18 per minutes. There was a special offer from my telco - the yellow guy :p.

First, I called to a hotel which the rate was only AUD$ 60 per night, the receptionist transfer the line to her manager, and the answer I got from him was that their hotel is not for international guess because it is very old, lack of maintenance, and will surely dissapointed us. He also told me that there is only 8 rooms. From this conversation, I relearned the Australian slang and started using it. I would pronounce ‘ai’pple instead of apple and ‘die’ instead of ‘day’. I believe MunYin (SiewPeng’s sister) will learn that.

Next I called this motor inn, and a friendly lady answered the phone, then I made a booking successfully through the phone without have to pay any deposit. It was easy and convenient. We may consider to stay there again if we go to Perth again.
