Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Not a great property with hardly any facility, no clear signage to find hotel, casual attitude by Reception staff, nothing in the hotel other than just rooms. Road to the parking has multiple holes and entrance to the hotel from back had really bad smell, things lying everywhere and resembled like third world country. when told about this to the receptionist, she made a casual comment that we all are aware of this, without even bothering if this will ever be fixed. The lift in the hotel makes funny noises when you use it and you pray to God that it is does not stop midway. The hotel is dead place after 9 pm with reception gone and you feel so scared to enter the building. It is on a busy city road with noises coming all night. The rooms and bathroom were in good condition, bed was nice and there was good space, that makes stay comfortable.

Pretty basic and dated. Staff very welcoming and quick check-in was great though. Served it's purpose, but only enough hot water for one shower, so be the person that gets in the shower first!! Basic no frills accommodation in the CBD.

The property was clean enough, but looked like it needs a refresh. There is limited on site parking which was difficult to get in and out of. But the strangest thing was they lock the doors to the parking at 10 pm and do not open them until 7 am.

Big room very spacious comfortable beds but that’s it. Spa didn’t work, toilet didn’t flush properly, shampoo face wash hand wash all are same liquid. Tv didn’t work properly, couldn’t sleep at all due to the noice from night clubs surrounding . The room smells like an old trunk which has not opened for many years. I am so sorry to say all these but we will never book this again

Great location, huge rooms, restaurant on site. Staff could work on their communication skills, and the website info bot needs to be more accurate with the info it provides, just saying there is parking available on a first come first served basis but neglecting to mention the $20 a night charge is very misleading! The main and BIG complaint is noise, both from the street and also from neighbouring rooms, there is NO soundproofing! You get to hear the TV from the room next door all night and the yahooing from the street outside, don't plan on sleeping!

The front staff member was very sexist and didn’t understand how a bond worked. He stated that my wife needed her husband as woman can’t park in their car park. He said the $150 bond would only have $130 returned in check out. Terrible!

The Beds offered a good nights rest (clean and comfortable). The Hotel is a bit run down - Has seen better days. Has dedicated parking - $20 for our 1 night stay. Booked Expedia for 3 people - only one queen bed in room!, paid extra for another room with and extra single bed which was a bit disappointing.
