When we first got there they said the key was in the door which isn’t very safe, then next minute they have lost the key and it takes them 10-15 to find us a key while we just stand around and wait. We go upstairs see the door handle and it’s literally a box with a bed in it. The bathroom had a dead fly in the shower. Wanted a full refund but only got half even through we did not stay there. DO NOT Reccomend!!!"

The suite was situated nicely and clean and the beds were comfortable. Was especially happy to be welcomed by a cat, not sure if it’s part of the complex or neighbour but was a delightful surprise, just want to know its name. Only there for a night so only interaction with staff was check-in and the person was friendly. Kitchen is small but has the basic supplies to be able to prepare a simple meal."

A cross between Steampunk and the old boys cricket club from yester year. Clean. Comfortable. Very central location. But no on site parking at all - despite what is advertised. Woolworths car park next door and street parking abundant after hours. Lovely continental breakfast. Place is all locked up at 8 pm, but room access is fine."
