Paid good money for a room that is falling apart and in need of repairs and old. Toilet not secured to floor. Could see through curtains as well as alot of yelling outside by a group of men late hours of the night. Teenagers fighting n swearing at each other. Won't be staying there again and differently not worth $150 odd dollars for a night

We liked the having to not see reception and have codes sent via text to enter the room etc. The beds were comfy. Sheets could have fit the queen bed better. There was a smell in the bathroom that was a mixture of musty and mouldy and the toilet wasn’t sealed to the floor. It was a bit rocky. Overall good stay for a quick stay. Staff were fantastic when I did get to speak to them. I think there may be a renovation going on

Do not stay here. I booked the business room which is advertised as soundproof, pillow menu etc. As a business traveller you need to be able to sleep, there was no sound proofing, the photo on web site showed Venetian blinds and black out curtains, there was no blind and only light curtain so as soon as the sun comes up it is beaming through the window. Room next door was making noise until after midnight and with paper thin walls meant you heard everything. The room was booked for two nights but after the first night checked out and found another hotel in town go to. Tried to get a refund but was rejected. The room is definitely not what it presented to be on the web site. Trailer full of rubbish out the front, old fridge just chucked on the ground. Stay away from this place.
