Empire Apartment Hotel
Large apartment with everything needed for a much more comfortable stay than a standard hotel/ motel room. We did get a discounted price though which influenced our choice as the normal advertised price was much higher.

Denison Boutique Hotel
Arrived late but mobile number organised check. . Aircon did not seem to work. A light outside the room would make inserting key into the lock a lot easier. Was a fine boutique hotel.
