Liked: Staff & service
The location is super convenient. McDonald is the next door, and Pizza hut, KFC, and other restaurants are also a stone drop distance. New World and Woolworth are just behind. Super amazing location. The room is not very clean. The soundproof is not very good. So better be quiet. The boss is a warm, friendly couple.

Initially the manager tried to put me into a unit around the back that had a totally flooded carpark and was impassable. He then said he would 'upgrade me'. ?? The upgraded unit was dirty and I mean dirty. I will not be returning or recommending.

The staff were nice and the hotel clean and quiet. It was an older building but it had been maintained well - especially inside. My wife was happy and that is not easily achieved :)
