We thought it was a bit strange to find our room with windows and curtains wide open on a 45 degree day.
Staff member at reception didn't know how to book Olivers restaurant.
The guy running the restaurant needs to be trained properly.
Only one other diner in the restaurant, he forgot to bring us the menu, sitting for 10min before he realised.
lemon, lime and bitter had no pieces of lime or lemon.
He carried the water jug with his thumb inside the top of the jug.
Main meals were delivered to the wrong person.
On a positive the Aircon worked well on a hot day and our food at Olivers was very nice.
We do enjoy staying here on the odd occasion unfortunately service has dropped over the years.
Didn't have breakfast and the facilities were a bit untidy in the carpark with boxes and tree branches not dealt with, but apart from that it was good value for money.

Bathroom in the room wasn’t clean, mould in the shower, dust around tiles no face washers in the room you had to ask for them. Had a fire alarm at 3am one morning, no apology or communication from staff what was happening, I feel they could improve their procedures in this area. Guest attendance for safety reasons incase of a fire. Pool was out of order but apparently this has been this way for a long time. Very disappointing
Close to where we needed to be (State Basketball centre) easy drive. Clean room, no complaints. Would stay again, but would suggest accommodation in the back rooms, as located on busy roads.
Room cleanliness was ok. Bathroom handle was about to fall off. There was a fire emergency on new year’s night at 2am to 4am and the hotel did not provide any follow up information.
Quick checkin lovely spacious room nice king size bed in quiet part of hotel with no noise from the busy roads nearby great hot shower plenty of space in bathroom there was a spa bath but we didn’t use it
Plenty of parking at the rear
I would stay here again
