The hotel was amazing, the staff were super friendly and helpful. The room we were upgraded to was great, the mattresses were really soft and the pillows were nice, the balcony was an amazing addition.
The only concern we had with the place was the smell of damp, but we opened the balcony doors and that helped a lot.

Comfy beds, great staff.
Great staff, very friendly and professional, super comfortable bed. Didn’t enjoy the stay not because of the hotel itself but the Bogan children running up and down the hall and inconsiderate Neighbour who would rather bang on the door than take the room card. If you jag a weekend without them there you’ll probably enjoy it.
