One night stay

Nice little room, bond was quite expensive for what it was and was told that we were going to have the bind back in the account however waited two weeks and still have not received. During this time I have called and was told it would be sent and I would receive an email and the phone hung up. Quite disappointing as it was quite an expensive night. Staff were quite nice and room was near and tidy.

Lack of information provided at check in, especially about after hours access. The room was tiny and needs work/ updating. Took almost a week to get back the $150 just in case fee, more than the room cost. Called and asked for late check out, was told 11am was fine. When I checked in, again I said I need late check out at 11am. Someone came to the room just after 10am asking if I was checking out now or if I was a late check out. Then the cleaner entered the room without knocking or announcing themselves about 10.45am luckily I was just about to leave the room. Served its purpose but wouldn’t stay again.

For the price the hotel was great, clean rooms and plenty of towels and toiletries. Rooms bit dated and new lift recently installed which still had the tape on. For a short stay it is quite sufficient.
