Not sure if they’re is a brothel being run out of this place but constant cars coming and going all night. Car’s idling in the carpark with music and headlights on revving and then leaving. Did not have a good rest/sleep.

We stayed here for the night while travelling. We had a family room which had a divider wall between the king bed and the king singles. Everything was very clean. The only negative was that we were on the 1st floor (because I hadn’t checked that) which played havoc with my knees using the stairs. We were able to walk across the road to the RSL for dinner. We would definitely stay again.

Loved our overnight stay. Small pool but it was clean and perfect for our 8 year old and right across from our room. Bedside lamps didn’t work but didn’t bother us. Friendly reception. Would definitely stay again.

Dated and poor value for money

This place does not deserve the high rating - or the high price ($276/night). It’s very dated and feels dodgy. The towel rack in the bathroom fell off as soon as we hung our towel on it as it was only taped to the wall. The only upside was the service - the lady in the reception was excellent as she arranged for us to check in after hours. Overall wouldn’t recommend 1/10.
