The rooms and facilities were kept in good condition. The Hotel I have stayed in many times over 15-20 years from time to time, although a little bit older than the new high end hotels nearby, is still extremely well maintained and the location is excellent ( relatively short walk to) near Gurney Plaza. Will probably stay again in future when visiting.

The pros of the hotel, good location, many food options and close to main attractions. The cons the hotel rooms are quite outdated. The shower head was broken when we came in- was replaced promptly though which was good. mould on the rims of the bathroom sink and the shower was also quite outdated. Pretty average sat due to this. Staff friendly and helpful.
