Spacious and clean room. Hotel is right next to busy road but room was quiet. Several shopping centers nearby. The complimentary breakfast however seems to be for 10 year olds: coco puffs, milk, cup of fruit and a muesli bar.

The proximity of the hotel to the motel units was great. The unit was at the back of the property and therefore didn't get the noise of the main road. Plenty of parking. Would have liked more facilities e.g. toaster and/or microwave in unit as we weren't into breakfast cereal.

Bill

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Clean and pleasant room, food excellent in the restaurant, only problem due to a a blocked drain adjacent to the superior rooms (numbers 24,25,26 and an unlevel carpark surface causing significant pooling of water deep enough to cover your footwear, which does not drain away adequately. According to staff it is even worse in winter! This could easily be remidied if management is willing to address this issue.

Liked: Cleanliness
While the facilities were clean and bed comfortable, the shower over the spa bath is dangerous. Standing on an uneven surface with closed eyes (washing hair) are conditions for a fall. The bright light over the door outside which was on all night did not make for a good nights sleep as the blinds did not shut out the light completely. Maybe a less bright globe could be an easy fix.
