Great location. Wonderful staff. Breakfast buffet really good. Not good value for money: our room wasn’t cleaned during our two night stay, paid $60 to use their car park then couldn’t find a free spot on night 2. Also had to queue for breakfast buffet and when we finally got a table there was hardly any food left , no bowls, no cutlery.

The rooms were modern and pleasing, the bathrooms were a let down. Old and not particularly good condition. Shower curtains are just a no no when it comes to germs and bacteria and the non slip mat was disgusting. Definitely time to upgrade the bathrooms and take out the shower baths which are dangerous for still short children who are too old to want a parent help them to get out (9 year old boys do not want their mothers help in the shower). Also, the hallways were rather dusty and musty smelling. The carpet smelt bad. Other than the poor bathrooms the hotel is lovely.
