Absolutely terrible. Check-in was slow, the carpets leading up to, and in, the room was filthy. Linen was clean and beds comfortable. Bathroom was very run down. The music from the hotel downstairs rang through the entire room for a good 5 hours. Anytime someone in the hotel ran water you heard it course through the pipes in your room. So noisy, so terrible that we checked out early.

First impression, Is this the place I saw on the site!! Reception greeting not good. Big Carpet stains on all stairs and passage way. Bedroom, carpet stains and big tear in carpet, approx. 1 1/2 mtrs long - tripping hazard. Bathroom, Our beds Duvet looked like they had just been pulled out of the dryer and were very wrinkled, shower curtain had black mildew at base and specks above. washbasin had water stain where water could not drain. Tea/ coffee provided but no teaspoons or milk. Fridge on but drip tray filled to over flowing. We arrived on the Saturday and were told that the Hotel, restaurant for breakfast and dinner would be closed Sunday and Monday, hence no room service, clean towels etc. when I saw them on the Tuesday afternoon I asked if the room had been serviced they said "we are not allowed inside our room if we are not there" in which they doubled down when i said they could, when i told a employee that we had no towels for days only then did we receive them and they told us "we should've asked" but no one was there, the tea and coffee was finally replenished Aswell, the carpark was filthy and filled with glass and resembled a dump, we had to park on the street, we were exceedingly disappointed with our stay

I felt unsafe there, as we were given a key for the room, and we found out it didn't work at all. We advised them, and they said the battery had run out on the door pad or something. My husband had a guitar which we took up to the room to make sure it wasn't stolen out of our car parked outside, and because they did not attend to our key problem straight away, we had to take it back to the car, As we were going out, the night duty lady kindly said to give her the guitar, and she will lock it in the office, till the door was fixed. When we returned late at night, the door had been fixed. I think it was very poor of them to just give us a key, and not double checking if they worked. And as soon as they were told the problem, they should have attended to it straight away, or at least move us into another secure room. I was very disappointed.

Only one person to do check-in, who was also the barmaid for the public bar and the attendant in the pokie room....so that meant we were constantly interrupted during check in. We requested 2 single beds, got a room with 1 queen bed, asked to move us....which took time to find a room with single beds. Thankful that they did move us as the original room they gave us looked out over the back roof of the hotel and nothing else. At least the room we eventually got had a view straight down to the front of the hotel where we could see our rental car which was street parking. We finally got to our room, unpacked then went downstairs to find something to eat only to find on our return that our cards didn't work. So back to reception to request more. On our 3rd night the same thing happened, our cards didn't work so once again we had to get new cards. All up we went through 3 sets of entry cards for a 4 night stay. The rooms are basic but very comfortable. Shower pressure is superb. The in-room guest books need to be updated, they still say that there is room service and that there is a restaurant onsite that serves dinner and breakfast - Not so. Granted that the receptionist did say that she had only been there for a week, between her and Rahoul - I'm sure they're the only 2 that run the hotel/motel, they did a great job trying to do the best with what they had.

Good location, friendly helpful staff. TV (remote?) not working. Clock on daylight savings time, sing plumbed backwards, but none of that mattered as much as having a quiet place to sleep. Bed good, I personally don't like duvets (too hot and can't make it cooler so disturbed sleep).

The room was pleasing. The only parking offered was on the street. The restaurant was a disaster - twice the appetiser arrived, while only half the main was served! When asked about the bacon and egg that should have accompanied the burger, I was informed, "Oh dear, sorry I forgot." No offer was made to set the order right,nor any discount offered!

This was a very unprepossessing hotel on the outside, with some quite newly refurbished rooms upstairs with very adequate accommodation. We enjoyed a meal in the dining room in the older part of the hotel downstairs. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Construction in the street outside seemed to affect access to the hotel parking area, so we parked in the street, without any problem.

Nice clean basic place with a restaurant that closes before 8pm so if you need a more proper dinner you need to get there early. Otherwise there arent a lot of options other than fast food pizza, Indian, Chinese, or fish and chip takeout nearby. We were able to park our car right outside so that was convenient, but if you have trouble climbing stairs to your room then please think twice before you stay here as there is no elevator.

I appreciated being so close to my first appointment in the morning. It would been nice to have some sort of chair in the room for watching TV. Not having Sky was a down point. A free continental breakfast was a bonus.
