Hi, Apologies for the other guests. I'm sorry your experience was not up to standard. We do have security in the hotel however this must have slipped through this time and it is unfortunate that some other people don't have the respect for other guests. If you ever have an issue like this again if you call the Manager on duty they can come and try to sort out the issue for you.Hopefully if you stay again in the future we can make your experience better.

Affordable and clean

Arrived late due to flight. Service was excellent. Not a fancy place but very clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly

Worst rooms ever

Door lock had been busted off so it just flopped around, carpets have big stains, tiles in bathroom doorway missing and broken, cupboard doors don’t shut, showers are dirty.

Very functional.

Pros: Clean, functional, proximity to hotel dining and price
Cons: For the price no I'mprovements identified
Location: Bus required to travel to CBD but buses are regular and trip is 15 minutes. Hotel attached with gaming room. Cazaly's Club nearby, supermarket nearby.
Staff warned guests of potential break-in risk. No week-end breakfasts. This hotel served my purposes very well.
