Amenities, they charge for parking where as there is no barrier or anything. its on isolated place and lots of free parking is on the street. Old aircon with no remote. Shower and toilet are together and its very small area if you take shower all the floor area including toilet gets wet.

No lifts only stair cases rude front desk attendant mold on room roof air conditioner had a very moldy smell if used so wasn’t, window can open but a bit and no fly screens a hop up into toilet shower cubical and half flush didn’t even work don’t forget the drop into room when exiting toilet oh and don’t forget the extra 5 dollar parking fee open air honestly will never go there again. Plus was there with my daughter but the filthy look said otherwise. Always watch that wood strip when you enter your room major trip hazards as it can catch your footing. If the lip on the stairs don’t get you before hand with the lip on each stair step preventing your suit case to glide up easier. To be honest just thought male attendant was rude at front desk and no you can site my id but not handing it to you. But to be honest he was probably the best thing the hotel needs upgrades and honestly were to begin one making it safe especially for the older people I saw staying there unsure how they would of even managed on a lower level if they had the amenities we had on the second level.

Asked me to leave straight away as they said I was smoking. I literally just arrived and never smoked and the room had zero smell of smoke. No refund issued from a 5 minute stay. Worst hotel experience I've ever had.

The room smelled liked cigarette smoke. House keeping cleaned the room and took all the towels and didn’t replace them. Air conditioning/heating very loud needs an update, bathroom very small and no window. TV needs updating. Front reception needs updating. The whole place needs a revamp. The front door after 10pm is supposed to be locked and only accessible with a room key but it was opening without so zero security. Budget is 100% accurate. Staff were nice but seems like no organisation or structure.

Checkin was easy. Staff polite and helpful. Our room we were a bit surprised. The rooms look contemporary and smart in the photos but actually they’re not. The room was small ( cell/ dorm like) and neglected needs updating. The AC in our room didn’t work properly and it’s old. They were hazards too. Our window was broken and blind wouldn’t stay down. Noted: to fix problem sticky tape was applied to window frame and blind, not a good look and cheap. There was 2 old heaters placed under the window again hazards and not a good look. One basin to use for bathroom/ kitchen not hygienic. Get walk pass bed had to position yourself straight de would. The bathroom/ toilet module to get in and out slip/ trip hazard. Any steam from shower can set up off smoke alarm not good. Em Slaby
