Was told it was a deluxe room for which we paid extra mainly because it was ground floor and as my husband was having a surgical procedure would be unable to climb stairs. The facilities were very limited, only 3 small plates, 2 knives, 2 teaspoons, loads of glasses, but no dinner plates, bowls, large spoons or forks, tea/coffee supplies were scant and not topped up on our second day. At $198 per day we expected better.

The room was clean and tidy. It was located in a central area and close to other facilities. We were only there for one night so did not have a chance to interact with staff other than check in and check out.

Great location, room not like the photo
Whilst room was comfortable, it had an unsafe feeling about it when arriving at night. There was mould in the shower and hot water did not work properly & the towel rack above toilet rusty. The location is great but website photos did not match the room that was given and with a price of $238 for the night, I expect better quality.

Wouldn't recommend at all, staff were nice but the room was in a terrible state, dirty crusty pillows, the sheets haven't been changed in a while, crowded entrance to the room, no bedside tables or power points near the beds, the microwave doesn't work, the phone was disconnected, and I had to put up with a chirping fire alarm sound coming from the starage room near me all night! Sure they would've noticed it needs new batteries since staff uses that room a lot. Not happ, and wouldn't stay there again in the future.

Was in town for an event and was athe perfect location. Staff were very friendly accomidating a regest for a late checkout for us and allowing our car to remain on site till after the event which was appreciated. However the unit we were staying in did not appear to have been cleaned recently with stains throughout the unit on the carpet, the carpet in places was threadbare and there was biscuit crumbs on the floor. The bedding was also visably soiled. In the bathroom there was a number of hairs evident as well. There was also a strange odour on entering the unit.

Door was left open on arrival and heaps of blow flies were inside with no fly spray. The shower pipes were so noisy that it was impossible to take a decent shower after a long trip. The taps in the next room could also be heard. Wasn’t worth the money.
