The best bed I’d slept in during our travels. The mattress was so soft and the staff very friendly. Rooms very clean and great value for money. Would stay again.

Tidy room, great tv, partly upgraded. Everything was good apart from the old box air conditioner, very loud, even on quiet mode it was like a lawnmower in the room, couldn't hear tv and couldn't sleep so had to switch off.

Some very “tricky” photography used to present rooms. If you’re keen on dust over everything and a shower head at 1.7m height. This is your joint.

Roomy enough with bench space. Adequate lighting. No carpet which is good, new looking tiles. Wi-fi worked. Comfortable bed and pillows. The fridge worked well enough to freeze the Esky bottles. No shampoo though.
