I was allocated a room with rooms above and was awaken with noise all night as people were coming and going either above or pass my room. As well, the entrance door which was not firmly positioned, moved with the strength of the wind AND it was a windy night.

The hotel was close to Sunshine hospital where we were visiting. The room was okay, shower was quite nice. The single bed was very cold as too close to the window and hard and lumpy. Overall not bad for the money. A bottle of water would have been appreciated.
