I have stayed at this hotel a number of times and have found it to be very convenient and comfortable.
The only negative from this stay was that its restaurant cooking staff were obviously having a bad night, as our meals were overcooked.

At over $300 a night for two people it was way over priced! We recently paid the same amount to stay in the heart of Rome! I suspect prices were bumped up because of WOW and the rugby.

This place stunk of someone cooking curry (which the compendium said was not permitted) and it had a serious ant infestation.

Convenient location, close to motorway. Suitable for big families and companies. Rooms are worn off, with uncomfortable beds and cleaning quality definitely needs to be improved. Overall, ok to stay for short term if dont expect much...

Unfortunately this property isn't what I remember from 5 years ago. It's looking rundown and in need of some TLC. The room was clean, but the shower was average with the plug not draining properly. It was a convenient spot to where we needed to be, staff were friendly, but not sure I'd come back.

Spacious and Convenient
The room was a good size including a kitchenette, with a modernised bathroom. There was a small electric heater but it provided sufficient heating on a cold night. Very convenient to catch the ferry next morning and to Johnsonville shopping centre. Only minor criticism is that the bedspreads were rather old and marked and could do with being replaced. Would definitely stay here again
