Heatherbank Nature Reserve Tours and Activities

It was ‘ok’. Good location in the CBD and everywhere was walkable. Room was fine, good walk-in shower, decent size bedroom. There’s a tiny self-serve laundry which was useful and a dark little room with a printer (hardly a business centre, but helpful). But frustrations included the really quite loud music that blares in the corridors outside the bedrooms (with no seeming pattern, on/off at different times) late into the night or starting at about 6. This woke me up twice - not what I wanted after 21 hours on planes. I complained, no one had any what the policy was, it seemed to be turned off, then next morning it was back at 6.15am. I complained again - but it was soon back, and I just had to live with it. Irritating and intrusive. Hotels shouldn’t do stuff that interferes with guests’ basic needs like sleep and loud musak in empty corridors for the purpose of creating a vibe doesn’t outweigh that priority? Room service I tried once - hard to find in the app and with a pretty limited menu. Ordered a salad. Nothing arrived so after 45 minutes I rang to discover they couldn’t do a salad. I might never have found out. They offered some kind of chicken pastry slice - which I had to accept and was grim. Food in the restaurant is Mexican and that’s it. If you don’t like Mexican - I don’t - there are no other options (most nights). I should have checked. There’s a good Greek takeaway next door - go there.

great value and a very comfy bed
