Clean and comfortable

The room had everything we needed including a ceiling fan which was great. Very clean and the bed was comfortable. Liked that it was a blanket rather than a quilt especially at this hot time of year. Good location close to town too. Would stay here again.

Great little place to stay. Have your own parking spot allocated to you. However, it looked like it was booked out with the car park being full and it was still very quiet. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Best sleep I have had in a long time. Thank you

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was reasonably clean. However, there is no sink in the bathroom to wash your hands after using the toilet and brushing teeth, no bath tub and neither a powerpoint inside. There's no where to plug in when drying hair or shaving face. Really hard to put our phone on charge because there's only one powerpoint and its in the kitchen. Too small fridge for a family room.

6/10 Okay

The beds were comfortable. Although the room had a strange layout. The basin for the bathroom was outside the bathroom door in the kitchenette area which probably isn't very hygenic. I found the bathroom door handle very stiff when exiting in our room (No. 4). There was a room deodoriser above a kitchen cupboard that made a noise every so often which was annoying. The breakfast pack cost $10 and wasn't good value. The container of fruit had an unusual flavour.
