Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback with regards to your recent stay. The property did experience a large water leak in which staff tried their hardest to keep noise to a minimal but hours was spent cleaning the water and using a machine to extract the water to avoid further damage. I have passed on your other comments to maintenance to investigate.

Lovely rooms. Nicely furnished. Everything in the room you could need such as a desk and chair and separate comfortable reading chair. Mini bar, kettle, iron and ironing board. Nice products in the bathroom by the ‘Thank You’ brand. Staff were pleasant and efficient. Close to cafes and restaurants. We stayed over the Easter long weekend and then again the following weekend. The in-house restaurant was not open at all over the Easter weekend or for breakfast at all. Would highly recommend.

I paid extra for what I expected security parking, not available not even security cameras over the parking area. Shower had to climb into a bath to shower, very old and tired rooms no breakfast available, the parking and breakfast should have been available on the web site. This hotel is obviously setup for FIFO. AGAIN IF THATS ON THE WEB I CAN DECIDE. it’s not for travellers.

The hotel is extremely rundown with holes in the walls which have been patched but not painted. Carpet has been taken for the floor and nothing to replace it. Waking in it felt like an American serial killer movie. The hotel used to be lovely and could be again with some money spent. We wouldn’t stay there again until it’s refurbished.
