Room was spotlessly clean, shower excellent, well done to housekeeping staff! I was advised about building/construction so took that on chin, property is tired overall. Not enough parking for the unit qty by the look of it. Overall view it was well located for Pacific Fair walk and food options. Would consider it again if needed.

There was a lot of construction work around the hotel hence the noise and poor surrounding area. Other than these factors the hotel itself is aged and really needs external work to improve attractiveness and safety. Internally, the rooms are functional, simple and clean.
