I find this place ideal for when I’m at TAFE. It’s clean neat and tidy, close to supermarkets and dining options.
Suzie, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room I had was very small and that was incredibly hard the sofa bed was also slightly broken on one end. Also the door handle on the inside of the front door was loose and came off in your hand when you open the door I’m not forgetting in the toaster you have to hold down the button , I don’t think I will be staying there again. I will look for something that cost me a bit more money but It will be a quality hotel
Darren, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was unhygienic - floor was sticky with grime and dirty. Looked and felt like it had not be cleaned in at least a week. Spoke to reception who just said that it was cleaned every day so it wasn't an issue. The hallways getting to the rooms were consistently unclean - litter, garbage bags etc. Took over 3 weeks and lots of emails for them to return the bond. Literally the only positive was location.

Sally, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cosy and well suited to our budget

Good location just above town. Easy access to tram outside hotel lobby. Well equipped kitchenette though a peeler and a can opener would have made it perfect. Comfy bed. Nice to be able to open windows up wide. Bathroom fan was noisy and there was a bit of noise from the street below. Suited our budget.
