Even though the room was spacious for both rooms and the beds were comfy, both rooms had roaches and the fridge wasn’t as cold. The staff was friendly which was great. I would stay as a last resort.

Was not that great. It smelled like mold when the heat came on in the room. There were also roaches behind the desk that my husband found crawling around. Breakfast was average, could have better and more selection for the price for one night.

IAN

Disliked: Amenities
We arrived after a long journey and discovered that despite paying $200 per night we were not in the actual hotel but in the 2 storey annex which resembled an afterthought. The room had a musty mouldy smell although there was no evidence of mould and there was a 2” gap on the door frame. The breakfast was non existent with hardly any choice, this was clearly not a “grand” hotel certainly not worth a second visit !!!
