Nice room for our one night stay. Comfortable bed and good bathroom amenities. Off the main road so no traffic noise. Short drive to RSL club for meals.
The room was clean, but a very strong odour of cleaning products when we entered. Had to air the room out for a while. But we did checkin early.
The one negative was the open shower with no barrier of water getting on the floor of the bathroom.
Nicely appointed room looking out to small garden and road. However extremely quiet as road itself quiet. 10 minute walk from city centre.
Room very clean and added comfort of an electric blanket.
Will definitely stay again.
