I have stayed at this property a few times now. I do like staying here. I like that it is out of town. The train station is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel and takes around 30-35 minutes to get into the city. The rooms are pretty standard (quite small) there is a tv, fridge, coffee and coffee making facilities, double bed, airconditioning, ensuite in the rooms that I have stayed in. There is an onsite car park, with ample space. Across the road (busy intersection/ main road/ freeway) you have Mc Donald's , Coles, Kmart etc..

Hotel is in a very convenient area for access to everything. Room was supplied with the essentials required. Pillows need to be changed , got very sore neck from the low pillows and had to pay extra money for parking on arrival we were unaware of. Otherwise 4 star stay.

Broken pieces of glass in the room which we didn’t see, my son took his shoes off and went to jump into bed and stood on a piece, cut his foot open 1cm. Went down to tell the staff and he asked what room, typed it into the computer gave a stern look at the computer, I said clearly wasn’t swept/vacuumed he continued to stare for an awkward minute, no apology. Disgusting. Sheets were filthy. Under the bunk was graffitied which could easily be cleaned. Quick stay for a nap before the airport is perfect but nothing more than that
