Oriental Parade Tours and Activities

Good location, clean and good room space.

We were really looking forward to our stay. I had spent a long time choosing to stay based on reviews so maybe had higher expectations than I should have. Unfortunately the uncourteous receptionist set the stay off on a sour note. She was curt and unwelcoming, and this continued when we had to ask her things at reception later. The bed was comfy but small, and the room was cramped to what we had expected from the photos. There were two towels for two people so washing hair meant you had to towel down with wet hair dripping onto you. The room on the third floor was hot and had a fan that mildly shifted air around, we had to open windows to sleep but then had road noise. The room was quite noisy from the corridor. For what we paid for the room it was quite basic. The bar shut earlier than advertised in the room info sheet. There was safe parking at extra cost but I wouldn't want to be in a larger car as it was a squeeze to get parked. Great central location and easy to get to from SH1. We did appreciate the lolly jar in the reception (still not enough of a sweetener to get over the receptionist). Checking out was easy and on that occasion there was a nice girl who was able to smile - it makes all the difference!

Great location. Great sized 2 bedroom apartment
