2/10 Terrible

OLD, DIRTY & RUNDOWN, BUT CLOSE TO AIRPORT

Hotel accommodation is above a noisy hotel. Chattels & presentation is old, delapidated & dirty. I took a sleeping tablet & slept well, but my husband didn't sleep at all due to the noise that ensued well into early hours of am. A staff member helped with our heavy luggage up huge flight of stairs but we had to lug it down when leaving. Nothing was fresh. It smelled! Not a nice experience!

One night

Worth staying if you’re after a quick overnight or short stay. It’s a bed, tv, fan no air, but opening doors onto a balcony, 2 shared shower/toilets rooms were very clean and old school but everything good. I was midweek so not noisy really, but I’m not sure how Fri-Sun would b with noise from downstairs? The pub is open til 3am but there was no music on my night so slept well. Great bed BUT..it has a wooden footer so if you’re 6ft or more you’ll be sleeping sideways. Room was clean, good size,own tv, fan. Nice linens and pillows. Great value.

The location was very good. The staff were very friendly & helpful. I was able to buy a drink & sit and play the pokies before bed. The room was clean & comfortable for the price. Would have liked something small to eat as I had a late flight, the staff did offer to organise Uber eats had I wanted
