We stayed twice. Dates 4th to the 6th January then 15th to 17th January due to a major scouting event happening in Maryborough. The first room 31 we stayed at had 2 air conditioners in 2 rooms. Kept the rooms cool at all times. It was great with lots of room to move around. Very comfortable. The second room 22 was meant to be an upgrade. It was in the sense of the loft but not great to stay cool. There was 1 little air conditioner to cool a large space that was not working. The other much much older air conditioner did not work at all. We sweat through a 38 degree day with what seemed no air conditioning. This needs to be fixed if the price is different due to the loft. The other, was having to fight over a car space due to the room location. It all worked out though. Apart from this, everything else was great. Breakfast was brought to our room with a smile and great service.
