Refrigerator wasn’t cleared of previous guests cold goods. There was only one bath towel. No bath wash or soap and no NRL access on TV in the bar area

During a very busy weekend with lots of events over the Easter break, staff made time for us and accommodated our special requests with excellent humour. The location was excellent for our needs with lots of excellent dining options nearby. The pool was also excellent on the warmer evening for a nice relaxing finish to the day.

Room generally clean and tidy. Bathroom dated, taps on shower did not work so had to take bath instead (very difficult for hubby as he has bad hip). Toilet seat loose, almost coming off. Iron had goop stuck to the soleplate and had to be replaced. Room key card faulty. Staff were fantastic, fixed problems immediately and with good attitude. Overall Hotel seems a bit tired and is letting down the good staff.

Dear Annette, Thank you for your comments and please accept our apologies for the issues during your stay. I have passed your room number and comments to our maintenance and housekeeping departments.

Running water in the toilet late at night plus noise from street was very disruptive. Stay away from the Macdonalds across the road unless you want disapointment. The fire alarm and subsequent evacuation didn't help with the experience but I can't blame them for that bit.
