Honestly everything was wonderful! You get some free drink tokens and the bistro is amazing. Check in was slow but they were understaffed, the worker who checked me in was so incredibly lovely.

Beds were comfortable and it was spacious for a family. I would not stay here again as it was very noisy can hear people next door and above you. It is right near a nightclub which goes till 2am. So if you are staying to get some sleep forget it. There were cockroaches in our room as well. Had dinner at the adjoining pub but staff were not very friendly. I do not recommend staying here.

Liked: Cleanliness
Very Clean Property. Meals were excellent! I would have been very happy with this property, except for the very soft mattress, my preference is a firm mattress. Continental Breakfast was not in room and not provided on check-in. (Just a note for reception as it would have been appreciated if it had been provided on check-in,)

One night passing through Emerald.

Room was decidedly average compared to photos. A lot of noise from other guests. Staff did ask them to turn it down and it did improve but still not great. Food in the restaurant was good and staff pleasant and helpful.

Close to town and included breakfast pack. Very noisy unfortunately stayed on a Saturday night and patrons partied till 2am. Booked a studio but room was very small with only one chair. Definitely not a studio. Was advertised as a motel and only realised after booking that it was in a hotel. Would never stay here again
