If you want a good night sleep i would recommend asking for a room not along the road. Parking was easy and close walking distance to everything. The room was outdated and some items need replacing due to being dirty eg both lamp shades had grotty water marks around both of them, one of the chairs had a cigarette burn in it and dirty. It says foxtel but i wouldnt bother.
