This place is great all round and we've stayed here a number of times - and will continue to do so. The only let down is the breakfast is very basic - no choice of eggs, just scrambled and the dinners are a little pricey, so not great value for money. But there are good restaurants within walking distance.

We loved our stay. Was really affordable. The rooms were spotless and modern and the staff were lovely. Heaps of parking and right across the road from supermarket etc. The room service was also great and super quick which was handy with kids.

A great location and wonderful staff, we really had a great time. Sadly the walls and ceilings were not the greatest when it comes to soundproofing so we had others running up and down the room and a large function that meant we were being kept up to 11:30pm and then again at 5:30am.
