6/10

A very expensive and outdated property. We wouldn't stay again. Rooms, although spacious, are from another era and need a complete overhaul. Very uncomfortable beds with saggy mattresses and when my child was playing they pushed one aside and it was apparent the carpet hadn't been vacuumed under there for an age. No shower curtains in bathroom so water just spills all over the floor making it very slippery. Staff were friendly and check in was easy. It's just a shame that the hotel isn't up to scratch.

6/10

Poor facilities compared to other motels. Reception staff very abrupt. Room under stairway was noisey with early morning guests waking us before 6am. No parking outside due to stairway so had to park outside someone’s else’s unit. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom door didn’t close without force and shower door was obstructed by doorway. No bathroom extraction for steam.

The room was tidy and the staff was friendly.

8/10

The lady in reception might have had a long day, she was a bit grumpy, other than that a more than adequate over night stay, parking was really great, right outside the room. We would stay again
