    Ground floor, comfortable bed, pleasant person at reception, room and bathroom clean and upgraded tv.

    7HamiltonPosted on: 12-27-2025

    The room was comfortable and well appointed. It looked recently renovated -quite modern

    Location was too far away from everything. With no shops in the area I would have liked more tea sugar and milk. Staff did not ask us about ordering breakfast on checkin nor inform us about the time limit for ordering so we missed out on breakfastf

    9CynthiaPosted on: 12-22-2025

    Location. Park outside the door..Breakfast includedGood external lighting. Very quiet.

    There was a chain on the door for security but if someone was breaking in that could be broken. The doorknob lock could be broken easily with pliers. Being on ground level I put the chairs against the door as I would wake if there was an attempt to break in. One softer flatter pillow would have been good.

    Had all the mod cons including aircon . Near food shops .

    Only negative thing i could possibly say is that it was right next to busy street . 7

    10NicolasPosted on: 12-3-2025

    Everything. Check-in, the room, the staff, the pool, everything was 100% fantastic.Jerika and Leanne were awesome and super friendly. Definitely one of the best hotels around.

    Honestly the only thing would be making it a bit safer? The area is pretty rough at night and people walking past can be quite loud, agro, etc, and can cause dramas if they walk into the hotel carpark/courtyard area. Even a little more light out the front, perhaps illuminating the pathways either side of the driveway in?Regardless the place is awesome.

    It was good rate good location quite

    Shower water pressure was not goodReception didn't let us know about Breakfast as room came with but we didn't have any because it was not made clear.Room was not cleaned for my stay ran out of essentials.

    Friendly staff, clean, value for money

    Air conditioner did not get cool enough

    10NicolasPosted on: 11-28-2025

    Everything: location, rooms, check in and out, value, comfort, the staff, carpark, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.

    Except... The homeless people who are given rooms and end up causing trouble, disturbing other occupants, making noise all night, and that wander around the carpark and the hallway walking up and down past your door at 4am angrily talking to themselves? That's one thing, that could be so easily fixed. They detract from the family-friendly vibe, make it difficult to relax, and shouldn't be allowed to abuse the rooms and the hotel.In my eyes they're bad for business, and will sour a good reputation.

    Great location & clean

    Around 7.30/8am someone tried to enter t room (no knock) but had a key to open. Only reason it didn’t open was due to t chain across the door. Confirmed we were leaving that day, which we were. A knock first wld of been good, otherwise a great stay & ease with a 8.30pm check-in.

    Room was clean.

    Insects (geckos) could be seen in the room. Room lights/power was operated by inserting the room key to the socket. As there were no switches, have to take the key out of the socket to off the lights, before bed. As a result, air conditioner also gets switch off.
