It's an older hotel but with modernisation, it's not creaky. A big dining room kitchen for shared use. Eat as much cereal, toast with vegemite, honey or jam, tea and coffee as you like. Their words! The rooms are cleans with a basin, a TV that works , comfy beds and an A/c that works by pushing one button.
