For a budget hotel, this place was great. The hallways look a little tired, but I didn't care about that as my room was clean and comfortable. The room was fitted out as I expected for a budget hotel. Small, compact, and with the basic needs you need. Aircon, TV both worked (No remote for the TV, I'm ok with that). Bed was clean and comfortable. I would definitely return.

Stayed for 8 days. No room clean, no fresh loo paper, no towel change over. Ridiculous bathroom toilet set up. Couldn't have a shower without soaking the cubical. And by cubical I mean it is a little fiberglass box you step up into. There are literally bigger bathrooms on airplanes. Extractor fan chockers with dust and gunk. No place to put a suitcase, but on the floor in the room in front of the external hand basin. Therefor meaning having to move it to wash your hands to put it back to move to the bed. A bunk over crossways to the double bed. meaning you can see the tv when sitting back on the bed. Making that pretty useless. AC filters so clogged that made it totally ineffective. (I cleaned them myself). No power points for changing a phone near the bed. One outlet on the bench. Fire door being propped open to outside with a brick "for the smokers". Overall it was a bed in a room. If you need a bed, at least that was comfortable.

The staff were friendly and helpful. I think the advert and platform(booking .com) was not helpful in that we ended up paying twice what the average rate was which was frustrating($153 as opposed to $85!!) x 4 rooms. The info on continental breakfast was very misleading and whilst the staff person was very good the facilities were less than basic. This and the after hour food and drink could be significantly improved.

First of all, make a refund at least half of my payment due to waking me up at 6.30am bc of your cleaners next to my door non-stop yelling! I told them to stop but impossible! I left without a sleep and had to drive 3hours way back to Sydney and wasted my time and money! I also struggle to fall asleep the Whole night due to stinky toilet in the room. I only stayed in the 4hours which even I could not sleep! This place is horrible and such scam!!!! I will raise it to fairtraidinf and ombudsman!!!!
