It’s was a pretty average experience. Nothing exceptional to share with friends and family. Room 126 probably one of the worst rooms we’ve stayed at for the price. Bathroom floor was wet from water leak our entire stay. Filthy curtains. Flat pillows. View of the bottle shop and car park was underwhelming. Free street parking ok if bothered to move car every two hours after 10.30am. Extra $25 a day for under cover parking on top of room fees a cash grab. Night staff unenthusiastic and sloppy. Positives - The day staff were pleasant and friendly and the location to shops and town green were exceptional and the room was large and the perfect temperature.
