$20 per night for parking at the motel, no in room dining, elevators unable to take you straight to the carpark from level 9, cigarette butts in the garden out the front we picked them up and give them to concierge to put in the bin, room we booked was for 2 x single beds when we arrived only a double bed - concierge arranged another room but no help with baggage. 2 night stay towels were changed in bathroom and rubbish removed but beds were not made up which we thought was rather weird but we can live with it !!!!

The hotel staff were excellent, indeed outstanding. The hotel itself appeared somewhat "tired" and in need of an upgrade, thought still comfortable. The breakfasts were unchanging, and fairly limited. However, the hotel is conveniently located and we would stay again. I commend the staff who were incredibly helpful.

Ideal location although quite noisy. Very expensive breakfast, food had not been refilled when we ate at 8.45 so options were limited, would be better to try a cafe as what we had just wasn’t worth what we paid. Staff were pleasant and helpful

Very nice stay

Clean and tidy room, much bigger than expected and very well equipped. I was a very late check in and early check out. It would have been great if circumstances allowed me to stay and enjoy. Easy check in and approachable service staff.
