Room was cold but comfy with air conditioning on. Nice king bed but sure could use warmer bedding. Bathroom clean and tidy but the shower very small. Should an upgrade be considered in the future increase the shower space and loose the triangular bathtub.

This property is close to the Dickson Shopping Centre and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. There is no restaurant at the hotel but there is a great little cafe around the corner for something to eat. The room was a King Suite and was plenty big enough with a vast movie list available on the TV. The whole property is getting old and could do with a complete refurbishment but it is clean, quiet and easy to get to. The bathroom had a spa bath but a small shower and again was dated but clean and functional. All in all an OK place to stay.
