It was close to where we were attending a wedding. Didnt spend much time there - it was basically somewhere to sleep for the night. Beds were large, clean and comfortable.

Comfortable and clean, okay for a quick trip and if you’re not planning on staying in your room. Shower isn’t the best, but customer service was great.

We stayed here as a last minute decision. The establishment was probably a conference centre but now largely unused. Room was comfortable and quite large but surroundings were in need of some TLC. . It was close to some good restaurants in the nearby shopping centres. I t felt a bit spooky being the only guests in the wing but could be pleasant if the place was full.

Accom is probably best described as motel style, but with nicer finishes. The grounds were well kept, parking was ample and the rooms were very comfortable!

We have stayed at this property before. Our room was good as it was last time. A little dated though. The lighting was really bad on our eyes...quite dull. Our bed was extremely comfy...even if it was two beds joined together. Our last room we stayed in, neither of us got much sleep as the bed was extremely uncomfortable...so we were really happy to get a comfortable bed...even if we had to pay a little more than our last visit. I've never known the dining room to be open to eat in...so we've always had to leave the area to go elsewhere to eat. We had a manual for a microwave, but we didn't actually have a microwave in our room, which was strange. The receptionist is beautiful on both of our visits. She is friendly and has great people skills. A gem.
