Frommer's Review
Backpackers and budget travelers frequent this friendly place, next to Kingston's shops and about a 10-minute drive from the city center. Rooms vary, from dorms with four or five beds to modern, simple doubles. Each has a wash basin. There are communal showers and toilets and a courtyard.
Next door is the reasonable Best Western motel, at 27 Dawes St. (tel. 02/6295 2111; http://motelmonaro.bestwestern.com.au). It charges A$135 (US$122/£61) for a double. Apparently, long-suffering parents often park their teenage kids at the lodge and live it up at the motel.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
