Hi Damien! I'm very sorry to hear that the cleaning was not up to our standard with the coffee cups this is disappointing to hear. I will pass your review on to our cleaners to ensure they are checking every thing in the room.

Old fashioned but clean. Right next door to Dan Murphy's. Might be good for some but not us, especially getting written up at 6am by the alarm! Otherwise close to everything and house of schnitzel good

Chef did try to cater for dietary requirements. Checkin staff very helpful and friendly. Room booking was mixed up. Glasses and spoons dirty. No face washers. Meal communication was very unorganised

The property was ok for the money. The downside is road and carpark noise. Very noisy spot to stay. Plus the Hot Water Servuce ran out of hot water after 2 mins. Very frustrating Also no room service. The upside is that it’s very central. It was a cheap and affordable place to stay
