Darren

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Rooms Way overpriced for what you get. Food was nice but pricey, eat before you go there though because you don’t get much. Sorry to all dog lovers (I love dogs) but having to watch a women feed her dog off her plate in front of you while your trying to enjoy your dinner is not ideal either, especially when your paying $200AUD for your meal and $400AUD per night for your room. Animals should be outside, have you not heard of hygiene. Staff had little to no idea about local area. No assistance with bags, no lifts so carry your bags up and down stairs yourself. Would not consider staying there again.

There was nobody at reception to check me in and I had to wait a while but the staff were friendly. Ordered room service which was not great as dish was slightly cold and I was charged quite heavily for the convenience! Room was quite noisy as above the area of the bar where people could sit outside.
