We didn’t like this hotel at all. It said in the information that the restaurant was closed for renovations, but the receptionist said it had been closed for 4 years. The room smelled as though they’d been cleaning the carpet/furnishings with chemicals. It was very large and very few people staying. Would not stay here again.

The property was clean, but the inside was dark uninviting, lots of lights out, bed was just ok. The patio chair cushions were flat as pancakes. The car parking was a night mare as only acess to hotel was onthe first floor in which they shared with other businesses so we had to walk our luggage down to flights of ramps... Staff were awesome.

The venue looks like it was lovely in its day but it is tired and dated. There is pigeon poop on the ledges outside and the pool needs a revamp. The hotel could be done up beautifully and it would be amazing. Pluses were that the room was fine. Nice staff at check in. Great to be able to park our vehicles.
