"The properties public areas were well maintained and modern, the rooms need a bit of work. Had a slight musty smell, but it was heavy rain outside. Convenient location, probably one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in!"

"This is an ok hotel. But don't advertise parking then say no we don't have any and we cldnt accommodate a ute anyway. We booked here as they advertised parking. Also fix the power sockets so they don't hang out of the wall and most modern hotels have USB plugs. This hotel doesn't."
