Handy location, but that is about it. Does not look like the pictures on the internet - is under maintained and I don't think the "carpets" are ever vacuumed.

The location was great, its very old but but all in all it was satisfactory. One receptionist was a tad rude whilst the other was very friendly. I didnt like the wooden stiring sticks fot tea and or coffee, would prefer teaspoons and we were three guests but only two towels were provided byt over all a good place to stay.

Great place to stay in terms of location; near woollies and most eateries plus bus stop. Have stayed here a few times and never had any issue. Last trip was odd though; upon checkout lady at front desk won’t let me store my small luggage for just a few hours. Said room was full (I could see it wasn’t) and didn’t have change for lockers. She seemed rather dismissive and uninterested in helping. I would have happily paid her to keep my luggage but her attitude was rather negative so I left. Meant to get change to go back and store luggage but didn’t bother as I figured she’d just tell me they don’t take strays or make another excuse. Apart from her, every other staff member has been incredibly helpful and nice.
