Stayed one night, easy check-in and parking was close by. The room was very clean, good shower but does spread the water around. The bed is comfy and linen is good quality, convenient location and the meals in the bar/bistro are excellent.

Excellent location, attached to a nice pub. Convenient walking distance to CBD. Rooms are small but well-equipped with amenities. Mattresses are in a terrible condition though and could do with replacement.

Good for couple, not family. Very good location. Clean rooms but one of our rooms (the biggest one) got smoke smell. Put the room make up on the handle but just provided new towels, didn’t tidy up. Shower is too high and water splashed out since no door or curtain for the shower area.

Liked: Cleanliness
I liked the location for easy access, free parking, security to the accommodation and the rainfall shower but that was about it. The room tiny. The ventilation didnt work in the shower. The fan was weak and covered in dust. The accommodation area had a smell to it. I could continually hear a split system or similar right outside our small window. The ladies at the restaurant were so unwelcoming on 2 occasions we tried to enter for a drink.

The hotel’s location was fantastic—close to everything we needed, which made getting around very convenient. However, I stayed with 2 kids and another adult, and we found the room to be far too small. With two beds, there was barely any space to move around, making it feel quite cramped. On the bright side, the facilities were decent and met our basic needs. If you’re traveling as a family, consider opting two rooms or a different property altogether.
