My new preferred brand for travel. Great facilities, clean rooms big beds but it is the added touches to make sure your stay is not just good but great. I love the cheeky ‘voice of the company’ that comes through in your comms.

Bev, Australia

I liked that it was styled in a very unique way - I didnt feel like I was on a business trip ( I stay in hotels a lot for work).. it was more attuned to a leisure atmosphere. Very relaxing, with a fabulous lobby lounge which is great to hang out in! - I wasn't feeling like I had to go out all the time to enjoy my weekend away.

Didn’t like the darkish corridors ... just a bit too dark ... & I think you should ensure there are 4 bath towels instead of 2 ... coffee was terrible ... sorry but tea was great

Rooms are very compact. Not quite enough room to do yoga beside the bed. I prefer new toiletries each day rather than large bottles kept in the room.
Quirky Devore, excellent staff, great vibe around the lobby and the restaurant. Very quiet rooms with the most comfortable bed and pillow I’ve ever slept on in a motel.

Curtains too light to block the morning sun. Also, slightly more counter space around the wash basin would be nice for the ladies, especially given how huge the bathroom is. Not all that nice having to walk through an open shower (wet floor) to get to it either. Otherwise great. Loved the bike shop up the street too. Lovely being on the lake, but couldn’t see anything but the (huge) road from my room.

We found the first room we had far too small but the next room they found us was good. Our only concern was that the whole hotel is fairly dark including our room and especially our bathroom
The staff were very attentive, the toiletries in the bathroom were very nice and we liked the free drinks.

No in room catering after 10 pm and no willingness to organise something in advance. Even external rooms are dark - though bathroom was refreshingly light. Room furniture showing signs of wear. Time to update the rooms and the hip dark design with limited lights .
Bed was comfortable and location excellent. Liked no extra charge mini bar.

“Try hard, green wash, incarceration”
- • Business trip

- • Original Atrium
- • Stayed 1 night
This is the only hotel I've every stayed in where I got a parking fine in the hotel car park whilst registering and providing my car details. My room was a dungeon designed by people who obviously don't use hotels much. Power points were in accessible, the ironing board was flimsy and hidden below the cabinetry, the low lux level means you need to use the torch on your phone to find light switches when the lights are on. On checking out I couldn't select the basement car park level in the lift without the room key that I'd just handed back. This is advertised as a sustainable hotel but there was no use of natural light, the recycled timber was added to the fabric of the concrete building as a purely decorative addition, there were 10 lights on in my room and it was still dark. The corridor has multiple lights but is murky. The use of exposed concrete just highlighted the embodied energy in the building materials and made it feel like a quirkily appointed prison cell. The restaurant menu was in a different language- a hybrid of Esperanto and hipster apparently. Try hard, green wash, incarceration. Couldn't wait to leave.
Staff were friendly and efficient

Our shower flooded the whole of the bathroom every morning as there was a gap underneath the shower screen. also, when we went to bed on our second night there we pulled back the sheets to discover that the staff had not bothered to pull up and straighten the sheet underneath and it looked as though someone else had been sleeping in it. Lucky my husband is quite tall and could reach the light above the sink

I stayed in a room on the lower level where the widow was aligned with the bottom of the atrium....it smelt a little musty and there was no way of airing the room out as the window did not open....I understand the reasons for that....maybe they should fit those rooms with a window that slides from the top? I love to be able to let fresh air in. Also it was my second stay and both times I was on that level...I will know to ask for a higher level next time :)
I liked that it was styled in a very unique way - I didnt feel like I was on a business trip ( I stay in hotels a lot for work).. it was more attuned to a leisure atmosphere. Very relaxing, with a fabulous lobby lounge which is great to hang out in! - I wasn't feeling like I had to go out all the time to enjoy my weekend away.
