Clean room, loved that our room had 3 double/queen beds. Lots of room for our family of 5! Little kitchenette that we could prepare dinner but lots of restaurants around the area that we enjoyed. Also a balcony! Great room and they had a laundry room, no charge. Would stay here again.

Staff were helpful and courteous, rooms were spacious, beds were clean and comfortable. Rooms could do with some updating and cleanliness could do with some improvement. The breakfast buffet was not too impressive and at times felt under staffed. The shower in our room was terrible it would go from hot to cold continuously.

The photographer that took the photos of making this hotel look great… However the reality doesn’t matchup. The hotel is tired. Built probably in the 1970s or 80s, it would have been great but today it’s just behind the times. The good thing is the room was large. The bathroom needs updating. The spa bath looks out of place …. But if you get this hotel at the right rate it then you will be happy as it is clean and tidy….

Kristine

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was massive and the front desk staff were lovely. The reception area is inviting and easy parking. That’s all the positives. The bathroom was mouldy and rotting and the whole hotel gives off a zombie apocalypse vibe. The aircon in the room didn’t work, and if you open the window you’re suffocated by the Sulfur smell. I feel sorry for the staff, it seems like they are understaffed and don’t have the time to attend to the rooms properly - e.g no soap in the bathroom and house keeping forgot to provide new towels which was discovered mid shower at 10pm. The person at the front desk wasn’t able to leave the desk to bring new towels for an hour.
