Ssolo travellerThis is the third time I've stayed here and everything about this place is fantastic. However, the office closes at 5 pm and customers have to call for check-in process after this time. Either the office hours should be till 7 pm or the staff should call the customers regarding their arrival time.

GGuest UserWent to a live band concert (Dreams by Fleetwood Mac) and decided to book at the venue. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the room. Very clean and tidy in presentation. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and there were extra blankets and bedding, in the room so we did not have to ask for anything. The units were very secure and would totally stay there again.

GGuest UserBrilliant location, better than most with parking and room access. The front desk were amazing helping with a late check in. The room itself was neglected. The walls were badly marked with some areas having pieces taken out of the wall, the bathroom wasn’t cleaned as it should be, rust and build up on the shower screen, sill below window still had dirt marks. Carpets were badly stained and some of the lighting wasn’t working.
