10/10 Excellent
"I loved this hotel, the staff were great and lovely as we traveled with 2 young kids. So patient with there energy. Room was quiet clean and well presented with everything we needed. Buffet breakfast was extensive with many options available and you could ask for additions ie poached egg, at no extra cost. Have now stayed here twice. Walking distance to Ruverside .market and The Crossing, shopping precinct. Parked the car and walked. I highly recommend this hotel."
