Pros: Very friendly staff. Fabulous restaurant. Comfortable bed and good shower. Good location for me near family.

Cons: A bit noisy from the music until the pub closed.

Pros: Great location. The bed sheets and towels seemed clean.

Cons: Stayed in a deluxe king (room 11), which wasn't as nice and shiny as the photos on reservation sites, etc. I've uploaded some photos of the room we had. On the way in, one will notice the musty old carpets leading to the rooms. Once in the room, we could see and feel an overall bit of dust/grime about. The room was also missing fire alarm (see photo). The shower did not supply consistent hot water; waves of purely cold water would come and go every few seconds, so we needed to hurry through our showers. The room rate was way too high for the quality of the room and experience.

Pros: We stayed in his hotel overnight as we had early morning flight to catch. The room is spacious and clean with coffee/tea making facility. The beds are comfortable. A microwave oven in the room is a big plus as it allowed us to warm our food due to the closure of most facilities in the hotel (including dining hall) as a result of strict implementation of social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our community. One of the deciding factors that led us to choose this hotel was also the free bus shuttle service to the airport. It certainly comes in handy if you have early morning flight. The bus service is excellent.

Pros: The friendly staff were happy to extend my check out time by an hour for free. The pool looked clean and inviting but it was just too cold to jump in. Extra charge for Wifi was a bit disappointing as it's usually included in this price range. Limited Foxtel channels for free were great if you like sport, however movies were available for about $15.

The so called key continually did not work and then we have the case of the mini bar where $100 is required from your credit card as back up in case you use something,explaining that I would not as a strict vegitarian and no need of the bar still had to supply the funds.Take the blinking mini bar out if it's that difficult.Then my partners cash is held up for 4 days as it's frozen for the stupid mini bar.am posting this vibe

Pros: Great sized fridge, close to where I needed to be, comfortable sized room, I loved the spa bath. Had a kettle, toaster, pots and pans

Pros: Bed was OK.

Cons: Filthy grubby bathroom with mould all around walls. Last occupant’s hair on the floor. Bath was disintegrating with enamel all falling off. Carpets were filthy and worn. Only one power point in the entire room. The power point in the bathroom was over the toilet, hence useless. No plug for the hand basin so could not easily shave. Worst of all is that this place is in a mega bogan hotel with poker machines and tattoo’d thugs everywhere. DON’T BOTHER. You can do much better for not much more money.
