Room was clean except there was a decent amount of dust build up on the P trap under the sink. Room was a little out dated but no issues with that especially to the cheap price. shower pressure was nice. Beds were very comfortable. lots of cafes and a BWS close by. Would definitely stay again.

The rooms at this hotel are terrible and in serious need of renovation. The actual hotel is good with a cafe, sports bar and gaming lounge all finished to a good, clean, tidy and comfortable standard. Unfortunately the rooms have not and the photos on Wotif are not an actual representation of what is provided. My advice would be that if you want to stay somewhere with onsite access to bar, cafe and gaming lounge and don't care what standard the accommodation rooms are then this is the place for you. However if you want a clean, tidy and comfortable room this is not the place.
