Is a 1star hotel due to age & condition but the right price for budget accommodation. Definitely not a 4 star as listed. Broken light fixture, no electrical tags on any appliances. Staff member friendly.

False star rating: 1 star, not 4 stars. Tired & worn.

Near Establishment

Overall, we had a pleasant stay, but there are a few areas that could be improved. The toilet had noticeable mold which affected the cleanliness of the bathroom. It may be due to the lack of an exhaust fan as moisture can easily build up and encourage mold growth. The room was also not warm enough especially during the winter so improving the heating would make it much more comfortable for guests. I hope these issues can be addressed, as they would greatly enhance the overall guest experience.

location is good, great view of the river. Staff were welcoming and requested if we wanted to see the room prior to paying. Kitchen facilities were clean.

I understood what we were booking although did expect it to be as bad as what we did have. The linen on the beds were clean and didn't feel dirty. Although the Bathroom walls and ceiling was covered in mold and the heater provided for the room made no difference. An alright stay for one night, or for a truck stop but wouldn't stay any longer. Was also charged $20 more than the original booking price of $100. (This should really be a $60-80 stay a night).

The location was good.

the ensuite facility was horrific, it had mold on the ceiling, paint peeling off the walls, the extractor fan vent was full of debris. My son commented he would rather use the new public toilet facility across the road.
