I’ve stayed here a few times now. Always just what I need. Easy to get to. Easy parking. Easy check in. Bathrooms are relatively new. The hot water can take a minute or so to come through, but it comes through in the end.

The value is excellent. The room itself, though king sized, was small, but quite adequate. A great TV, comfy bed, lovely toiletries, good shower, A/C (but no instructions). On the minus side, there was a heater which didn't work and cleaning could have been more thorough (Including a doona with a large lipstick stain on it) and the bed wasn't made up during our 2 night stay. The location is good, checkin was easy, there is ample parking. Breakfast is provided and was excellent, with about 8 or 9 different cereals, different milks and breads. The hotel itself is an old house and there is a lovely sitting room with comfortable furniture. All together it was very good value.

Room was quite small and had to navigate stairs with a bag, but I can live with all that. It’s an old building so it’s going to have character. I would stay again no problem.

Our stay was good and the room was okay. Overall, everything was fine. However, I faced two issues. First, the reception and lounge area had a very strong smell, which was quite unpleasant. Second, the bathroom door in my room did not have a lock.
