Dreadful hotel in a great location. Don't book here unless desperate.

2.0

This is a great location for a terrible hotel. Extremely run down, cracked hand basin, shower head built at about 5ft 4. Shower basin feels like there is very little support under it. First impression of the room was passable for an inner city hotel, however, there were spill/ splash marks on the wall in the room. The bed needs replacing it was so uncomfortable. The electrical certification on the electric blanket (checked out of curiosity) expired in 2011 according to the tag. Carparking was available in an open shared lot across the road. Be careful where you park. We would never stay here again and certainly wouldn't recommend it to others. I would like to suggest that hotel management/owners stay in room 221 and see how they feel about it!!!

Poor Housekeeping

4.0

Good location near octagon area with parking across the road. Man on reception was pleasant enough and welcomed us on arrival. Modern room. What let the place down are the housekeeping staff. Poor cleanliness in the room with clumps of long black hair all over the place which hadn’t been tidied up. Check out was 10AM. As early as before 9.15AM, housekeeping staff were very noisy however we managed to get back to sleep briefly. One lady banged on our door at 9.30AM and once I opened the door in shock she said house keeping in a rude manner and said check out is at 10, no apologies for rudely waking us up. The plan was to sleep until 9.50 then quickly get out of there before 10 but we were woken up multiple times by housekeeping then another knock by housekeeping, very rude as if trying to rush us out of there too early so they could do a poor job of cleaning again and just get out of there sooner with no respect to the guests. Due to the rudeness and carelessness of the housekeeping we had a poor sleep before a long drive. Mostly confusion as to why they would be knocking on the door so early, especially more than once. I felt like there was no privacy because of them.

Overall it is a cool place to stay, but it would be a lot nicer if it was maintained. The windows were cracked and thin, mouldy. The bath tub jets do not work - nor the power in the bathroom. The carpet is so old and worn out that it’s lifted up leaving a trip hazard in the room. It was also quite dusty. A little TLC and it would be worth the price.
