Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I wouldn’t call it spotless but clean and tidy - great beds, not very homely! Felt bare and it many amenities.
Easy parking without paying out on the street. Room was clean, staff nice and blockout curtains dark. Also loved the free Foxtel on the tv. Would stay again.

An exceptional hotel. Hopefully the cafe attached (which is not owned by the hotel) can soon return to opening for breakfast reliably 7 mornings a week. The hotel itself is all round excellent.
