Clean and cosy room. Beds were comfortable enough as were the pillows. Bathroom was okay, good shower pressure though only 2 towels for three people? No microwave but a toaster & kettle plus enough crockery, cups, glasses and cutlery. Overall we were happy with the room and our stay.

This property was clean, had all the basic necessities. It was within an easy walk to the shops and restaurants as well as to Parliament house. It was quiet despite having major roads nearby. Good value price wise. We would happily stay there again.

We had a family reunion with eight or nine rooms booked. Several of us asked if we could use the conference room for 1 hour to watch a slide show of family history going back to 1888. We could not get permission to use the room from the reception staff 😒😒
