Warmth in winter

Clean and comfortable
Small room and a bit squeezy in the bathroom, but I don’t need much for a business night away.
Loved the bin and window cleaner at the end of a long day, got rid of my rubbish and bugs off my windscreen. Nice touch.

Have stayed previously and were very disappointed the restaurant had closed however it is within walking distance to the RSL Club (which also has a courtesy bus for late nights). Has a pool which was very popular when we visited. Enjoyed our stay and will visit again.

The shape of the room was unique, same for bathroom. The mattress could do with an upgrade and the towels were minuscule.TV had no instructions. Aircon worked well. People were nice.
