It was an old hotel with new management. If you could look past the need for a spruce up the building. They had karaoke and a separate band area, where we had a really fantastic time.

Great staff, super friendly and helpful. My room wasn’t secure though, with one window missing a panel and a set of louvres ’repaired’ with a beer sign. 😂 also the missing window panels meant the karaoke was super loud. Overall pretty stoked to get an en-suite and bar fridge for the price.
