Stayed here for the F1. Good value for money, carpet and amenities could be improved. Missed that we had breakfast included in our stay and had to be brought to reception which was fine but could be a bit better. Overall though a good stay and good value.
Close to where we needed to be (State Basketball centre) easy drive. Clean room, no complaints. Would stay again, but would suggest accommodation in the back rooms, as located on busy roads.
Unfortunately, the pool was closed, and we weren’t informed until we had already arrived at the hotel and heard other guests asking about it. That was disappointing; however, aside from that, we enjoyed our stay.
Didn't have breakfast and the facilities were a bit untidy in the carpark with boxes and tree branches not dealt with, but apart from that it was good value for money.
Quick checkin lovely spacious room nice king size bed in quiet part of hotel with no noise from the busy roads nearby great hot shower plenty of space in bathroom there was a spa bath but we didn’t use it
Plenty of parking at the rear
I would stay here again
Pool non existant, staff very rude, room had medical tape covering a hole in the skirting board and masking tape holding the carpet to the tiles. This was our 4th time staying here and will be our last. Very disappointing experience and would not recommend
Room clean. Staff friendly and efficient. Easy check in and check out.

Liked: Staff & service
Walls are paper-thin - two complaints were made about neighbours having TV on until 12:30am very loud. Staff responded well - they did a good job; but not enjoyable. Highly unlikely we will stay again.
