Overall not the best stay. Room was very small, bed sheets were ripped, curtains very dirty and towels falling apart. Only one bin in the room, no flannels. TV also was not working. Power sockets broke. Pool looked bigger on the photos. Barely a sun trap with the building over the pool so lack of sun all times during the day. Area around the hotel great, amenities within walking distance. Wouldn’t stay again. Not the best experience.

Comfy beds, great staff.

Great staff, very friendly and professional, super comfortable bed. Didn’t enjoy the stay not because of the hotel itself but the Bogan children running up and down the hall and inconsiderate Neighbour who would rather bang on the door than take the room card. If you jag a weekend without them there you’ll probably enjoy it.
