Staff are always friendly, great location and quality of facilities. This was my second stay at Palm Court and sadly worse than my last stay, mainly due to minor but noticeable lack of attention to cleanliness details. Some of the towels were stained and had hair on them, while the carpet was also not thoroughly cleaned behind chairs and bedside stands. These aren’t necessarily horrible attributes but definitely affected the quality of my experience.

Nice and convenient location, Easy walk to restaurants, takeaways & shopping, value for money if the good rooms were around $160 and not the one next to the laundry! Parking is not the best specially if you own a large SUV.

Had a one night stay here passing through town. The king bed was super comfortable and the room was nice and spacious. Only downside was that we faced the street and traffic noise was a bit annoying and there was a streetlight directly outside our balcony. Being on the top floor this light was at the same height, blockout curtains are definitely needed. Overall it was nicely renovated and we would stay again but would request a room away from the street.
