Good for an overnight stay. Family unit was roomy. Beds comfy. Bathroom is a little pokey and the pool looked like it could do with a refresh. Not a fan of having the bathroom sink double as a kitchenette sink but ok for a night.Nice reception from the owner upon arrival.

The staff were extremely accommodating giving us early check in as we were in town for a funeral. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with everything you would need. Club Forbes is directly across the road so we ate there both nights. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely stay there again.

Forbes for Two Nights Only

We were in town in preparation for a medical procedure. It was quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed the closeness to the RSL Club. THe beds and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was very very squizzy, there are no grab bars in the shower but a non slip mat is supplied. The A/C was quiet and efficient.

This property was perfect for our needs. The kitchenette was a very welcome bonus, and arriving to the heat already turned on on a cold winters night was great. The renovations are looking good. I'm not a fan of the 100% hard floors, but they do make maintenance easier I guess. Just a personal preference. I had three issues though. The hot water out of the tap was crazy hot. Hot enough to scald my fingers. The door to the room didn't latch properly. We had to have the chain on the door to stop it swinging open in the middle of the night. The walls must be paper thin. I was able to hear entire conversations of other people out in the parking area.

Location good and room very clean. Unfortunately the room was very shabby and in need of an update. I was informed that some rooms have been updated and all will be. A work in progress. Bed was comfortable. The manager was very kind in offering us a deal next time and apologized. The cost of the room was definitely overpriced for the quality. Although on the highway the traffic settled and it was pretty quiet.
