6/10 Good

The accommodation was easy to find. From the front it was not very inviting and inside the gate quite run down. Facilities were less than basic but given age presented in a clean and tidy state. Staff were approachable and helpful. On experiencing the facilities I don't believe the tariff was competitive with comparable offerings

The property was clean but very very basic. Great for very budget travellers that want or need no frills but only looking for a clean bed at a good price. The place didn't look as good as the photos indicate. Slightly worse for the wear.

8/10 Very good

Maybe a revamp (retile and paint) would benefit and upgraded aircon would be nice but none of that is necessary - it’s very comfortable as is). Extra chairs inside would be nice for bigger families like ours and maybe a list of close places to eat/takeaway? The staff were lovely and approachable and the pool was well loved by the kids. Very comfortable stay ☺️

8/10 Very good

Whilst our stay was for the most part pleasant, the aircon was too small for the size of the room. The nights were hot (days hotter) and it was difficult to sleep.

Staff friendly, but the room needs fully air-conditioning ,

6/10 Good

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and my partner and I were disappointed. The air conditioner is no ordinary noise, whenever it starts to cool, the sound is like someone slamming against your door. At night, the sound is even more frightening. Wifi is provided in public areas, but what is the definition of a public area? Swimming pool? Reception? I have this question because I don't get a wifi signal when I am in the pool. The only advantage is that it is very close to the city, and it only takes 5 minutes to reach the CBD. And the Staff was nice.
