The room was exceptionally clean. The arch window feature and recess in the wall were really special. The bathrooms were surprisingly clean as well. The location is walking distance to everything. Bed was comfy, the blankets were warm. There was a good sized TV in the room as well as aircon. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nice & convenient location in the centre of the town. The rooms are spacious & clean & the shower was good. One big downfall is the parking for the rooms 103 & up. The ramp to the right hand side of the lot near the pool, You have to drive up the ramp & park up the top. There is no room to turn around & parking was very hard, everyone had to REVERSE Up an angled ramp to park & still do 4 point turns to try & park properly. Not practical & also very dangerous.
