One of the worst I have stayed in, dirty smelly. Tv didn’t work. Fridge sounds like a v8
Deserves half a star. Restaurant is terrible also. Forgetting meals overcooking steak.
Would not recommend at all.

Great Short stay location
The value for money at this hotel for a short stay was excellent. Easy access to the downstairs unit. Restaurant was close by and it included a continental breakfast, only issue at the restaurant was that the coffee mugs smelt of chlorine which was very strong. But the staff accommodated by bringing another mug that had been rinsed. The room had good facilities clean great hot water for shower. Tea coffee and a toaster was supplied. If you did not want to go out fast food places are nearby and it is only a short drive to the city centre and the zoo. I recommend this place

Was able to book online and check in was quick and easy. Front desk staff were very friendly and was offered milk for tea and coffee. Room was very clean and spacious. Air con, TV and Wifi in room. Bathroom was a bit dated but toiletries provided and water was hot. Handy location. Overall very well worth the price.

We had an unfortunate incident with staff not available so my review is a little biased. Apparently the staff had not turned up for work so manager had to drive up from Newcastle. This meant we were unable to check in until 530pm - a bit of an issue after being on the road since 6am and arriving at 4pm on a cold winters night. A phone call to advise us of this would have been appreciated. The room was large and clean but needs some TLC. eg the wall power outlet was bare wires behind the beside table. The bathroom ceiling had more paint peeling than on the roof. Good things were close proximity to fast food outlets and good parking. If you aren't spending a fortune, it's ok.

I was disappointed on this occasion as I’ve stayed here a few times without incident or issue.
There was rubbish left on the tv cabinet from a previous patron, hairs on the pillow and dirt and dust clumps in the bathroom.
Having a shower was also unpleasant. At best if you run just hot water it went from nice to almost freezing as there must have been other patrons showering at the same time somewhere close.
