The front staff were very friendly and helpful. The gym facilities were also very good. Although the sauna needs to be hotter!

Great location, lovely and accommodating reception staff. Cleaning staff were very rude and obnoxious. The room is well appointed and clean BUT very loud and curtains didn’t hide light. No sleep. Not the place to stay if your after a relaxing quieter weekend.

The actual property is fine. The shower is pathetic shape and size. I am only 5 foot 4 and not large by any means but it is hard showering in a triangle shape shower. If you open the shower door and look at the bottom I dont think this has been cleaned in a month or more. I was going to use the oven to cook one night but was so disgustingly dirty. I used salt on the first night it was not replaced. I used the washing machine and spilt some washing powder which was then left uncleaned on the floor for 2 days. Definitely not to the standards of Grand Chancellor hotels in Australia.
