We came from Adelaide for a 50th party overnight so really just needed somewhere to sleep, however the electricity kept shutting down on one side of the room which was very frustrating. The room is also in dire straits of an upgrade!! The staff were very helpful in giving us extension cords to help with our needs but overall a disappointing stay. We wouldn't stay again.

Loved the service, the room was very basic which was what i need for only staying for 24 hours Only issue i had when you turning the shower on if the pressure got to high it would fall down. Other than that, was a good and pleasant stay, check in and out was so easy and the staff we polite and friendly

Old Rundown, I think a prison cell would have been bigger. Cold, crammed but the restaurant was good and the staff were very friendly

It was a basic room, no instructions anywhere on how to use the air con or tv, the fan in the bathroom did not work and there was a big run in the carpet, could have used another blanket on the bed or an electric blanket as it got cold during the night...it was quiet, could not hear any noise from others or bar down stairs and they supplied cereal..good value for money..
