Disliked: Amenities
The only reason I gave this 3 stars is because the staff were so kind. Other than that do not stay here, especially in summer. The rooms are so small and get so hot.
Staff were great, really helpful with directions to access the carpark with the roadworks out front. Also with extra milk for the room. Room was spacuous, imacculate and the bed was super comfy nice and firm. We had tickets for the pavillion theatre only a 5 min walk. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Efficient, friendly welcome. Clean, comfortable room. Good choices for breakfast. A perfect alternative to a long, late night journey home after a concert.
