Just a little more than you would expect.
Really wanted to express out appreciation for the cleanliness and attention to our room. Never did we think we would receive daily service to our room. Breakfast was nothing overly special, however my husband could not believe full sausages with scrambled eggs, I liked the fact they had fresh orange juice from a machine squashing oranges, and fresh coffee frim a machine which tasted better than the Novotel we had come from in Melb. Not only that, but we got a bag of washing done and dried for a very reasonable amount and back in our room before early afternoon. Got to say guys, you helped us out and did not shirk from anything we asked. Hospitality at its best.

Good location facility needs work and well under
Definitely has potential but facility needs work and more staff to cover basic needs. Didn’t get much sleep because of guests walking above creating noise. Toilet didn’t flush properly . Bathroom taps and shower taps were leaking and nearly came off in my hand. Television came on at 1:15am by itself and continued to do this every 15 minutes until turned off at the outlet.

Neat and tidy room with the added bonus of breakfast which was included in the price. Easy walk to plenty of food options for dinner. Bathroom very dated though, with some mould showing, broken tile(s) and shower screen panels that needed fixing.
