Had a group of drunk aboriginal people screaming and fighting in the next room and in the hallway. Kicking doors and screaming so loud the night staff took over a hour to remove them from the property. I would really suggest giving my money back for my stay.

This hotel is a good place to stay. The facilities are a little tired but it has a lovely pool and outside area. I had asked for a quiet room which meant a view onto the car park but this didn’t bother me. If you want a pool view you may get noise from the bar where they have live bands playing. It’s up to what your personal preference is. Note: there is no breakfast. And another thing: the light in my room was extremely poor. No ceiling light in the main section of the room so I had to move the bedside lamps to the desk in order to write and work on the laptop. They really need to offer better room lighting for sure. They also do maintenance until late at night so beware of this!

When i arrived late at night i was given a room on the ground floor, windows facing onto carpark (no privacy), smelt of previous smokers, noisy air conditioner, music blaring in the corridor outside, showerhead spraying everywhere, and no overhead light in main space - just tiny lamps, so dark. The next morning i asked to change rooms and was immediately given a much better room in terms of window outlook and quieter aircon. Still no overhead light (??) and the bathroom has seen better days. But the swimming pool is lovely and in the end i had a good holiday here. Staff were very friendly and accomodating.

Fairly standard 3 star hotel. Pool was nice, building is a bit old, but well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the room windows don't open, but air conditioning is supplied.
