Air-conditioning wasn't working efficiently and starting leaking water. The maintenance person came into the room but didn't fix the problem so we put a towel on the ground for the night to catch the water.

I booked for 5, got 4 towels. No spare blankets available in the room. The breakfast was good but the rest of the food was terrible. Staff seemed okay but one was super rude. I paid for parking but found it was overbooked at times. The view was nice and location was obviously pretty good. Overall I wouldn't recommend.

Always my go to.

I stay at this hotel regularly and have been over the last 3 years. Service is always great and friendly. The rooms are well equipped and comfy but they are ageing. Curtains are drooping and aren’t sitting properly. The furniture is looking tired and the rooms could do with some remodelling.

Nice clean property with great views and great value for money. Little quieter than being smack bang in the middle of the CBD, which is good if that is what you like. All in all, a very pleasant property and as this is my second stay here, i think you know that i am impressed. one thing that they can improve is their Gym. very basic
