The Empire Hotel has Foxtel and when I arrived, the tv in my room didn't work. I'd evpect the tv to work properly in even the cheapest motels or hotels. Hotel staff didn't seem to have much interest in solving the problem.

Easy check in with the staff, friendly and willing to cater to your needs. Place was clean and tidy and spacious.
