The entrance to the hotel is in need of a good revamp and tidy up. The carpet needs a good vacuum. The room was clean. The staff was very efficient, friendly and helpful.

Close to town and good value for money, getting a little dated and some things don't always work . But a good spot.
Good location. Had parking, though quite small spaces. Room was comfortable enough for what we needed.

Was a basic and cheap motel which suited the 5 of us in a two bedroom apartment for the weekend. We were hardly there in the day.
Not the cleanest or flashest but affordable.
Kitchen with jug, toaster, stove top, microwave, fridge and all basic cooking utensils available.
Great location, walking distance to town or water front.
Staff were lovely and helpful when we needed things.
Parking available but very tight and a steep driveway to get up to the carpark.
Nice room. Could do wirh a deep clean.
Good value for money

Convenient location for the city. There were a few things missing from the room, which were replaced very quickly by the staff. The main annoyance was being awoken early by demolition work to the building next door, but just unlucky timing on our part.
I liked how central it was to everything in the city. The linens were clean and we were supplied with them daily. It was cheap so you get what you pay for. It was a bit dirty (dusty in places and a it was a dirty mess under the bed). Signs of a lack of deep cleans. The shower from the room above leaked onto our toilet. There wasn't enough cutlery for the 3 of us and only the bare necessities in the kitchen. It wasn't a very quiet place and we heard yelling in the night. You have to pay for parking, $15 a night. In general, as I said, you get what you paid for and you make do.
