Centrally located , and within walking distance to the light rail and all the shops and cafe around Randwick. It was a family trip to attend my son ‘s graduation , which we booked for four rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only negative feedback from me is one of the room 103 , the air conditioning was malfunctioned and there is no hairdryer in room 101. Overall all were good.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
This was intended to be a staycation, but the air conditioning didn't work and there was a large amount of noise from other occupants throughout the night (e.g. floors creaked and all doors seemed to slam automatically). My experience was extremely sub-par, and I ended up driving home early (11:30pm) as I could not sleep here.
