What the helly is that smelly from the vents/drains!!! Obviously a known issue why there’s soo many auto air freshners near the bathrooms at the end of the corridor! Also heard some poor lady telling someone (trying to get in to her room!) to get away from her door late saturday night..

The staff were excellent, but the rest of the experience was terrible, the fridge run all night, there was a machine outside my window that was extremely noisy all night. Noise in the corridor was terrible all night. Door closers were faulty and the room doors slammed all day and night. The TV is so small it's useless, and the volume was set way too low. No servicing of the room at all and run out of sugar, coffee and milk. The meals were tasty but mostly cold to warm at best.

I loved this hotel, friendly staff and large rooms. Bathrooms and toilets are shared though they have separate lockable doors for each. Food downstairs is great. My only criticism was that the check in is located in an area where children are unable to go. Staff did however look after the kids as I checked in. Will definately use again.

The staff were rude & not helpful. I asked for a special condition as we needed to be at a venue at 2pm & they refused early checkin so we could get ready. I rang early on the day so my room could've been cleaned early on the list.

Was not happy with being woken up very early in the morning with work men banging and talking in the roof area, was not impressed at all. I left the night check out. so I didn’t have to deal with them. 2 mornings in a row was enough had to get back to Melbourne for a proper sleep. Oh and the banging of the room doors at night. Friggen all night. BANG. BANG BANG ahhhhh sleep where are you.
