One night stay.

There was an event at Hayley Park and while the noise from this was ok there was a problem with people returning to the hotel and hanging around the night entry way and staircase which was very close to our room. They stayed around this area for around a hour making a bit racket yelling and swearing until about 12.30am. I was disappointed that management didn’t ask them to move on to their rooms. The room was well equipped and bed comfortable. Noticed the bathroom fan didn’t work.

Front desk lady (in her 50’s/60’s) VERY nice and helpful! Bed: too firm (and I like firm mattresses) and the mattress protective padding felt lumpy. Entire room: nice, felt a bit dated. Bathroom: ditto. Location: it’s right near the entrance of the park … super convenient to visit the Botanical Gardens or heading to the city on foot! Heads up: hotel is right next to a restaurant. This means you’re dealing with people taking trash out LATE and the trash truck comes 3x a week at ungawdly hours (5:15 am on Friday). Make sure your room is NOT facing that direction!

Clean and tidy hotel, handy, and quiet. But the decor was very dated and could do with a bit of an upgrade. The bathroom had been upgraded, would be nice to see the rest completed.
