Over the past twenty years we reckon we have stayed at the Espy about 15 times. We are not going to bother again.The Hotel is tired and rough around the edges. The bars are good and the food is okay but the corridors leading to our room were dirty and really off putting. Thankfully our room was clean but outdated. All a bit sad. We loved staying there in the past but looks like we will be looking further afield for our next visit.

The hotel is well situated and enjoys nice views of the park in front. The exterior of the hotel suggests a grand old hotel, but unfortunately the interior fails to match. Whilst the foyer is nice enough, the rooms are very tired and dated. During our stay, there was evidence of decorators working to freshen up the rooms, but left a strong smell of paint. I think that more than a lick of paint is required, as the bedroom furniture and bathrooms were long past their best.

The property is in need of some maintenance and repairs. The location is great facilities are good. Our room was comfortable but the bathroom ceiling was mouldy, carpet needed vacuuming cobwebs rust and lots of cracks outside on balconies and verandahs. Just needs some TLC Didn't receive anything much for being a vip hotel.
