Very comfortable bed, reasonably cumfy sofa, spotlessly clean, spacious accommodation and the location is excellent. A couple of little niggles - the bathroom taps were very hard to turn off, and the switch to move the shower water from the tap to the shower had to be pushed really hard to keep the shower running. We'll happily stay here again.

Picking a hotel room off a website can be hit and miss but this hotel was a great find. Location is excellent either driving, walking or using public transport. The room was spacious with a tv in the lounge room and the bedroom. Good Communication made our after hours check in seamless.

Beautiful Hotel

Spent a night, from the moment we arrived the reception treated us with a welcoming smile. Very quick check in and was given clear instructions on how to get in and out of the hotel. Once we walked inside our room we felt at home, very clean and all essentials provided (tea, coffee,milk, bathroom essentials). Will definitely go back.
