"We enjoyed our stay.
The room was exceptionally spacious, very clean, fresh linens and towels. Coffee, tea , milk & sugar were left in our room, as well as hygiene products in the bathroom and showers. Conveniently located close to Sovereign Hill. The area is quiet and a restful sleep was had. Would definitely stay here again."
"TV, microwave and kettle/toaster nice. Lights for some reason had no covers on them, too bright to leave on without the covers. Ended up finding them in the cupboard, carpet was a little sticky. Room wasnt available until a little after 2. Parking was limited car park was all filled up when we arrived back to hotel no where to park. We ended up leaving at 1130 pm to go back home. Would be suitable for couples or singles only staying a little while. Didnt suit us a family."
