Melissa, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Location is ideal but place needs to upgrade its rooms. Room might be clean but it is already showing its age that value for money becomes questionable.
Dexter, 2-night trip

Decent clean hotel

Decent clean hotel. Pool area was good but sauna was closed for some reason.

It is very convenient and accessible to all amenities.
Kheng Boon, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location in the centre of town easy to access everything, hotel has all the amenities you expect for novotel, room was spacious and bed was comfortable. I would probably not recommend driving, it was difficult to drop off items as limited drop off bays out the front and car park was full. It was very busy due to school holidays and it was a bit chaotic in the lobby, lifts were slow, we were early and had a great breakfast but people were waiting in line for a table when we left. Overall still a good stay and we had buffet breakfast included in our room rate which made it very good value for money.

Great location.
Justine, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

First Saturday of holidays and they only had two staff on reception and not enough cleaners everyone had to wait hours for their room to be ready. Parking is very limited, I got the last one at 2:10pm, room was overpriced but I needed the convenience being close to an event and walking back alone. Room was clean and no smell appreciate that, tv had basic channels staff were lovely and helpful they just needed more of them rostered management made some easy $$ this weekend and took advantage of school holiday peaks.
Angela, 1-night trip

robert, 13-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Be careful, don't stay in this hotel if you drive here. The parking system is a joke. The manager says that it is the way they make money. They can’t even maintain the room clean. Dirt everywhere. Dishwares of the restaurant are so dirty.
