8/10 Very Good! (791 reviews)
Bed we’re Comfortable and room had good heating.
Room needs so work done to it. Especially bathroom no heater or fan. Had hole in wall by bath must of been flooded at some stage.
Bath needed cleaning before kids could use. Hair and dead ants in there.
Also tray for utensils has heaps of crumbs in.

Great location close to CBD. Room clean and tidy but did have a slight smell of stale cigarettes which wasn’t that nice. Have stayed before in another room here and didn’t smell like that.

9/10 Wonderful! (793 reviews)
"If you are looking for quiet and serenity this place has it - however, falls short on the ‘luxury’ title and price. Pros - beautiful outlook from room, very quiet , can’t hear neighboring rooms. Black out curtains were great. Room size is generous. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was nice. ..."
