Room wasn't particularly clean, and smelled funny. Basin was cracked, room decor / furnishings were very basic and tired looking. No mini bar in the room or anything complimentary just seemed cheap, even though absence of biscuits was attempted to be covered as woke. Also room temp (air con) was set as low as it could go but was still hot and stuffy. For the price, very disappointed.

Overpriced and not user friendly

No information was provided re car parking options when booking. When we arrived exhausted from travel - Check in complicated for a car guest. Had to drive to entrance. After trying to get a response on the intercom had to drive aside and Stop aside and go to office - check in and pay $30 parking and then go down to car and try find a place to park - signage in park also very poor. Room ok - surprisingly there was coffee/tea making facilities but no biscuits! Mini fridge was empty!
