Receptionist, sarah, friendly, and very helpful, when we said we couldnt carry suitcases up stairs, as one of us has a mobility problem, and found us a ground floor suite, which we greatly appreciated .. a really convenient hotel to stay in.

I found that it provided me with all that I had hoped for as a quiet weekend getaway to celebrate a momentous 50th wedding anniversary.
The restaurant was the icing on the cake!

Clean and tidy hotel, handy, and quiet. But the decor was very dated and could do with a bit of an upgrade. The bathroom had been upgraded, would be nice to see the rest completed.

Room 11 is so noisy
Everyone walking in to the building at all hours can be heard loud and clear
No noise proofing
Would never say there again for this reason

One night stay.
There was an event at Hayley Park and while the noise from this was ok there was a problem with people returning to the hotel and hanging around the night entry way and staircase which was very close to our room. They stayed around this area for around a hour making a bit racket yelling and swearing until about 12.30am. I was disappointed that management didn’t ask them to move on to their rooms.
The room was well equipped and bed comfortable. Noticed the bathroom fan didn’t work.

Clean, well presented, extra blankets etc. Good heating. Would have appreciated a re-stock of tea and coffee during our stay, as we paid full rates each day.
Bit noisy with cars on Saturday night as close to Bealy Ave.
