The manager of the hotel was polite and showed me around before showing me the room. The location of the hotel was good. It was close to everything. The room was clean but smelled of cigarette smoke.

Quite a retro feel so enjoyed the vibe. Clean and convenient to a good shopping centre at Moonah. 6 minute drive to selection of places to eat. Appropriate cost for the decor. Would stay again.

The property was great and staff were friendly, the only issue was that the rooms had very limited storage space, perfect if only staying a few days but we were there for almost a week and basically had to live out of our suitcases. Overall we had a great time.

The location was ok but you really needed a car to get to the city. A shopping centre was less than 5 minutes away by car which was handy. The room was quite spacious and had the standard coffee, tea, toaster etc. Cleanliness was average as there were a few streaks of something on the table and the base had a layer dust.
