The bathroom smelt of mildrew. There was mould on the walls and floor in the bathroom. The bed was hard felt like sleeping on a board, (I sleep on a firm mattress at home).

We were pleasantly surprised by how big our room was and all the amenities that were available. It was clean and comfortable and we will go back again if given the opportunity. The only thing we were disappointed in was check in.. we drove for 6 hours and wanted to check in at 1.00 o’clock but were told we had to wait until 2.00 o’clock.

Nice stay. Quiet, clean & safe. The only issue was our late checkout wasn’t passed on to the cleaners who barged into the room twice & complained to the front desk lady who was then calling for us to leave.

Dirty rooms, sheets had what looked like blood on them. Rooms smelled like cigarette smoke, Traffic noise. Additional charges to park a vehicle. Terrible service. I don’t think the cockroaches would even live here for free.

Hi Nancy,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay with us. We sincerely apologize for the challenges you encountered during your visit, and we truly appreciate your honesty, such a champion! We take all guest feedback seriously as it helps us identify areas for improvement.We are deeply sorry to hear about the cleanliness issues you experienced in your room, as well as the condition of the sheets. This is not the standard we strive to uphold, and we assure you that we are investigating and addressing these concerns with our housekeeping team to prevent similar incidents in the future.Regarding the smell of cigarette smoke from outside the building, we understand how unpleasant this can be for non-smoking guests, and we do take steps to enforce our non-smoking policy more diligently. In regards to traffic noise you can always request for a quiet room facing away from the highway – subject to availability. Unfortunately, we do try our best to reduce noise from the highway as much as possible, however, as we are located right next to a major highway in NSW some road noises are beyond our control. If you see our parking policy which is both available online and clearly visible at the hotel reception. Car parking is free of charge for standard sized vehicles (one parking space per room). Parking fees apply for guests needing more than one parking space, such as (but not limited to) vehicles with trailers, buses, or trucks. Cockroaches are a banned guest at the hotel, they do try to squat on the property when weather gets warm and humid, however, our pest control measures are always reinforced with regular pest control services.Please accept our sincere apologies for falling short of your expectations. When reserving a room at any accommodation I suggest you always have a read through the hotel and your reservations policy, especially in regards to parking when your staff are driving three 16 tonnes trucks and are planning to park in a standard sized parking space for passenger vehicles. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we appreciate your understanding as we work diligently to address these issues.

Thanks you for having reasonable prices and welcoming pets. We also loved your free parking area. Great access and easy to find. The breakfast area was very welcoming and convenient as well. The only part of our stay that we ask your team to improve on is the cleanliness of the rooms. We would recommend your hotel and yes we would stay again. Thanks
