Paid extra and expected a King Bed within the
'Superior Standard Room'
Got 2 x Double Beds - No good
Really should get some form of income
Stayed here twice now and its great! Nothing too fancy, but a nice clean bed to sleep in and everything you really need! The pool looks so nice, although its been cold when I've gone, so never actually used it! But cheap parking and free wifi! Cant go wrong!

The curtains in my room were broken at the top and the bright neon sign outside the window was shining in the room all night which made it very hard to sleep. We arrived at night time and found the car park very hard to navigate and ended up in the laundry area, all in all just felt a little disjointed.
Excellent shower and bed. Heater/cooler was too cold so I was cold sleeping (probably user error). Clean and tidy. Excellent position - close to tram into town.
Well located and easily accessible. Rooms comfortable enough. However no functioning shower which only came to light too late to remedy due to tight check out time.
Spilt coffee stains on the tiles, several random hairs in the bed and shower. Even found toe nails in my daughters bed. No shower door, window above door wouldn't close, which also had no screen on it. No reply from the hotel, despite emailing photos.
The desk staff are lovely, no issues with them. But definitely would not recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness
There were no cups, not enough milk, not enough tea bags, beds very comfortable.
Excellent service
Clean, comfortable room with a very comfy bed
Beautiful shower - just a little disappointed in the drainage of the shower as water kept pooling at our feet.
Overall, an excellent experience & we will certainly return.
Very short supply of T bags and milk.
Lack of shower curtain made bathroom messy. Didn’t think $50 holding fee necessary especially with 5-7 days to be reimbursed.
The room was relatively neat and tidy. However it did not have a microwave despite saying it would on the website, I couldn’t access any apps on the TV, and the shower head fell off the wall when I tried lifting it. I called reception (who again didn’t answer) and left a message to this effect, however did not get a call back. I repeatedly called the restaurant to order room service but no one answered and had to ask reception to call them. Luckily I was checking out the following day as I would definitely want another room with amenities that I paid for.
