We stayed here for one night and found it to be overall excellent in every detail, from check-in to the condition of the room. Expect a comfortable bed, a quiet room with a pleasant outlook, a prisitine bathroom and a whisper-quiet aircon. Friendly staff on reception and check-in was quick. Free parking, and right next door to a hotel for drinks/dinner. Would definitely stay again.

Across the street is a shopping mall with an ALDI. Needed a place to sleep but found so much more. Highly recommended.

The staff were very friendly. Room was clean and bathroom was nice. The only issue we had was our room didn’t get cleaned and didn’t get fresh towels (2 night stay). The coffee machine was awesome to have but sadly wasn’t working the two times I checked it to make one but I’m sure this isn’t common. Great stay!

We had room 224 it had shared access with room 223. We could hear doors banging loudly throughout night & loud noisy sounds from appliances throughout night. On top the bathroom had a glass window with no blinds & a glass sliding door that opens into bedroom through which light from street lights & adjacent buildings entered the room all night & a long window over the beds had only a roller blind which didn’t cover the whole window & made the room well lit. It was so hard to sleep with light & noise entering room from all around.

Could not find fault with anything. The staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival, the room itself was spotless and comes with a very generous bathroom. The bed was really comfortable and there were even USB outlets (both type A and C) beside each side of the bed, for device charging, so no need to bring your own adapter.

The property was nice, and rooms were clean on arrival, and had comfortable bedding. However there were a few things we weren't happy with, another customer smoked weed in the room just down from us. The smell was so strong, throughout our area, the hallway and our room. We notified the staff and they barely acknowledged it. We felt they could have at least apologised and tried something to sort it out- moved us or something. (We had our kids with us) Then due to circumstances we couldn't control, we needed to stay another night, when we went to book it, they said yes and quoted a price, which we were charged. However the next morning, they had no record of us staying another night, despite the money coming out from our account. Another thing was that they charged us an extra $20. When I asked what it was for- they said they 'didn't realise the extra night was more expensive' despite it being a Monday- not exactly peak time. Anyway it bothered us that they charged us, without asking or explanation, a polite conversation explaining the situation would have be lovely. I think it was super unprofessional to add a charge, due to the staff mistake and without consultation prior. Overall the staff service was not great- we felt they could have done much better- especially as we didn't want to be in the building for one whole day, because of the weed smell. Other things to note are that you cannot use the tv properly unless you have personal accounts for each service.
