The room was very clean. The linen was crisp and new. Beds were comfortable. The bathroom was older in style but clean. The check in staff were friendly! There was no noise and we all Slept well. Value for money is excellent! Thank you.

Room was very small, fridge is in wardrobe, bathroom vanity too close to toilet you could bump your head. No dining room just bar meals. Not happy at all.

Location is very central. Close drive to shopping, beaches and popular neighboring suburbs. Room is a bit of a tight squeeze for 3 people but was generally clean and provided a toaster and kettle and a bar fridge. This was all located inside a wardrobe so access was an issue with the small room but it was perfect for a short stay of a few days on a low budget. There was some noise in the water pipes occasionally when Neighbour's used their water but other than that it is was very good option for those on a low budget. I've stayed in worse for a higher price. Pub offered some basic meals for lunch and dinner (pizza / chips or burgers) at a good price. OK for a quick dinner if you're not wanting to go out and eat. Room was serviced everyday which was a nice surprise. Overall it was value for money and the beds are comfy and the aircon worked well.
