Room #2 was our initial room. We walked in and the floors had been damp mopped. .....horrendously slippery and dangerous. We thought turning on the A/C would quickly remedy this issue. After waiting a couple of hours, the A/C didn't not seem to be working. We were told it was very humid and that it would cool down shortly. After another 1.5 hours the room was still like a sauna. We were given towels to mop up the moisture on the floors but because the A/C was not cooling things off, we asked to be moved so we were moved to the next room, #1. It was convenient to move only 1 room over, however, still inconvenient with our luggage. The A/C was working perfectly in this room. I do understand there was only one person at front reception when we were there but the floors were dangerous being so wet and the A/C didn't work and the humidity was crazy. We were only there for one night so that's why we were not super happy with this.

The room was very unclean, thick dust covering any area not routinely used ie. windowsill, baseboards and corners of floors, above mirror and TV etc. Low budget building in need of upgrade. Did not know it was very close to an airport, loud jets going by consistently. No remote for the TV so was unable to use TV.

The rooms were fresh and clean, with a modern appearance. I really appreciated the extra bathroom counter space. Bev in the office (sorry if I got it wrong) was exceptional in her welcoming and customer service. We loved this hotel and will stay here again. Personal experience downfalls: - internet was glitchy so I ended up hot spotting with my own data so my son could watch a movie. - Difficulty manoeuvring out of my parking space as a large work van parked opposite my room car park. - Ordered a take away pasta dish from onsite Italian restaurant $29, serving size less than a handful. Followed up with request to top up or refund. Refund provided.
