Whole Hotel currently being refurbed but had a room that had been refurbed and was very nice. Live music from until 10pm but didn’t mind. Laundry facilities available were good and the restaurant had a good choice Lukas was friendly / helpful and moved me to another room as the original room smelt a bit damp. Joy was friendly and gave me a late checkout until 11am as I had an apoitment in the CBD Overall, nice stay and highly recommend Will be even better once the refurb is complete
