The room was clean, the bed very comfortable and the staff were nice. We had a lack of sleep due to barking dogs and drunken patrons arguing outside our room each night.Also parking was at a premium. Could not park near our room. It's a case of first in best dressed.

Room was fine and no issues with our stay. But I was shocked to find the check in desk was literally squeezed in between the (crowded) bar and the gaming area. I was glad my son didn’t accompany me in as I didn’t feel it was family friendly at all. Very odd set up. Poker machines just a metre away from where I was getting my room key. The lights and noise were off putting. But the one night we had there was fine apart from a bit of highway noise.

Parking is limited close to the room unless you are there early. We had to park our car a little distance away which we weren't happy about. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean with everything you could need.

Insufficient parking for hotel guests due to a packed dinning area. We had to park our car a distance away from our room and move it next morning to pack car on checkout. Check service was not particularly friendly, however bar staff were great.

Should have a grab rail in the shower, possibly one even on the side of the toilet. Otherwise, was very clean, comfortable and with all the expectations of a hotel room.
