We had a lovely stay! Great location, we loved the beautiful pool area and restaurant overlooking northbourne. The room was spacious and comfortable. This is a great hotel for families with the pool and breakfast. The hotel is also right next door to the bus terminal, which is very convenient.

Great hotel, breakfast options were good - however the parking options are an absolute nightmare!!! If you’re not a confident person with parking - do not use their car park directly below the hotel - opt for the off site public car park. Parking is extra - they could prob do something about that though. When you consider their offered room ratesz Definitely would return but only on a good room rate !

Location was great. Buffet breakfast was good. Frustrating check-in. The self service machine didn't work although we were encouraged to use them. The worst things was, we were waken up at 5:55 am by the room phone. The staff member asked if we've requested linen, which we did not. Everyone was waken up. Otherwise we would have had a good sleep. When told we did not request the linen, the staff member simply hang up and did not even apologise. It is unbelievable that this place has staff who did not even think carefully before waking people up at 5:55am.

Disliked: Amenities
Handy location but everything else was a bit lacking. Looks rundown in the pool area, bathrooms not well looked after, sink half blocked and patches in the halway ceiling onky half finished. Staff were hit and miss with customer service - seemed like the hitel was being run down before the next renovation. Carparks ridiculously tight. Strange room layout for the 'executive' room - bathroom sink is inside the main room where you think the kitchenette should be. Overpriced for what they offer and would stay elsewhere next time.
