Wish I had read reviews before I booked. The place is so run down and needs a serious renovation. We arrived to being told we had to pay an extra $20 a day for parking, then got told to park over at the wilson carpark because our ute wont fit in their carpark. So we would have to have paid so much more to park, but we squeezed in anyway to avoid paying anymore. Entering the back of the building was filthy, and it stank, the floors havnt seen a mop in years. Once in the room i wanted to leave. The carpet was thread bare and looked incredibly dusty, the curtains were stained and had holes in them and bad patch up jobs on the walls. The water does not go hot! We had to have cold showers. Absolutely usless. The only good thing was the bed was comfortable, but the sheets had brown stains on them! Will not be back and gutted i wasted money here.

Overall value for money and location right in the heart of the main street. We had a a room at that was not road frontage so was quiet. Friends a had a room facing the main street and was noisy being a Saturday night. Would stay again

Not a great property with hardly any facility, no clear signage to find hotel, casual attitude by Reception staff, nothing in the hotel other than just rooms. Road to the parking has multiple holes and entrance to the hotel from back had really bad smell, things lying everywhere and resembled like third world country. when told about this to the receptionist, she made a casual comment that we all are aware of this, without even bothering if this will ever be fixed. The lift in the hotel makes funny noises when you use it and you pray to God that it is does not stop midway. The hotel is dead place after 9 pm with reception gone and you feel so scared to enter the building. It is on a busy city road with noises coming all night. The rooms and bathroom were in good condition, bed was nice and there was good space, that makes stay comfortable.

Pretty basic and dated. Staff very welcoming and quick check-in was great though. Served it's purpose, but only enough hot water for one shower, so be the person that gets in the shower first!! Basic no frills accommodation in the CBD.

The property was clean enough, but looked like it needs a refresh. There is limited on site parking which was difficult to get in and out of. But the strangest thing was they lock the doors to the parking at 10 pm and do not open them until 7 am.
