Good but could be better

Good but could be much better! It’s a great hotel with lots going for it! But there are a few things that let them down on the latest stay. The property overall is very well maintained and the food offerings is an enviable highlight of the hotel. But simple things like during my 7 day stay everything shuts down on sundays including housekeeping, so Monday morning guests are greeted with food trays in the hallways which could also do with the carpet cleaned and stains throughout removed! The room service didn’t happen Sunday and was not consistent on any days! The shower in room 307 could definitely do with the shower screen and grout getting extra attention imho! All that said, it’s a great value option with the best minibar stock & selection I’ve seen! I’ll be back!

Feels like a quiet bush retreat in a busy city

Incredibly convenient location for us. Rooms are great and restaurant was fantastic to invite our friends to come and dine with us. Pool is lovely and the rooms all face the beautiful bush away from highway so it’s quiet and peaceful.
