OMG there is every product a lady could want in the bathroom off the dining room. You would not believe it 20 products or so whatever we may need or like it is there. 10 points for doing this - I have never seen anything like it before - how thoughtful and caring. The ladies on arrival are fun. They really give out a great vibe and are ever so helpful. Your room is ready and cool upon arrival. The food is great - and so too all the service staff. I will be defintely staying here again and recommending others to do so if in town.

This a an older hotel, but it has been well cared for. It's clean, comfortable and a great location.

James United States of America

room was clean , a bit dated, but still good enough. The atmosphere was really good, with live music playing and a bar. The pool was nice and clean, and the girls in the office were very friendly, particularly Clare.

Pam Australia

They cheerfully stored my luggage the day before, and gave me a room further from the street when I checked in.
