Great staff & service. Obviously an older property. The area around the pool & the bbq could be freshened up a little. Otherwise the place met our needs & we thank the staff for their hospitality.

A good budget hotel with good food & great staff. The room windows overlooking the pool could have done with a clean.They were not that bad but noticeable. 24 hour reception. Will stay again.

Air conditioner didn’t blow air as fan roller full of fluff and needs cleaning. No ceiling Fans which made it even hotter with air conditioning not functioning properly. But overall we did enjoy our stay, easy book in and staff were friendly 👍 Will be back again to stay ✔️ Arnold Katherine NT

It was a standard room with tea/coffee facilities, ironing board, lockable safe and big TV. The room was clean, I felt safe. It is an old building with dated furniture however still provided what was needed. Unfortunately the hallway and room smelt like stale cigarette smoke. Parking was available but not allocated so you could miss out. The staff were very great 👍

When i arrived late at night i was given a room on the ground floor, windows facing onto carpark (no privacy), smelt of previous smokers, noisy air conditioner, music blaring in the corridor outside, showerhead spraying everywhere, and no overhead light in main space - just tiny lamps, so dark. The next morning i asked to change rooms and was immediately given a much better room in terms of window outlook and quieter aircon. Still no overhead light (??) and the bathroom has seen better days. But the swimming pool is lovely and in the end i had a good holiday here. Staff were very friendly and accomodating.

A well appointed room for the price. Good pool and easy to access. Unfortunately the air conditioner both dripped and spat out a lot of ice when it was being run. We had to put a towel down to collect it but it was soaking, and black and wasn't removed during towel replacement. This property was easy to find and had a restaurant attached. We found out that you got a discount at the restaurant after our meal. It would be good to be asked if you were staying at the venue.
