We have stayed here many times it is very central close to all restaurants, bars and shopping, there is parking for $20 for the stay which is very convenient because there is a parking meter charge on Saturdays in city. Don’t expect 4 star but it suits our needs and the staff are very helpful. Gail.

I was booked in for 7 nights and stayed for 2. The accommodation is run down, the rooms are dingy and had an unpleasant odour. The walls were like paper and you could hear the people in the room next to you. Consider booking elsewhere.

Listed in very small font $250 bond. Not recommended because they shoved it in the listing in between irrelevant material too hide it. Parking is $20??…. For what, if u have a stationwagon your going to get the underneath absolutely shredded no warning beforehand Eather, they just take your money and do not refund you. Room is absolutely average, sleeped on a massive lean all night as the floor is beyond level. Bath/shower doesnt run anything beyond luke warm. Heatpump was terrible, as a heatpump installer that unit needs to go. Beds feel like cardboard, i can carry on all day. Me and my group could not wait to get out of there 5 minutes after arriving into the room. If there was an option for 0/5 stars i would click on it. Make it $20 a night and than you got a worthy place to stay. Worst place ive stayed at yet…….

What a beautiful old hotel! We did have to wait 75 minutes for our room to be ready but we were then upgraded to the mosr spacious room I've ever stayed in. The room was very clean, no issues. There were lots of lovely restaurants near by and we were spoilt for choice. It was a bit noisy overnight with the usual Saturday night sounds of a big city but this is to be expected. Love watching the sunset from the window and all the city lights come on. The parking was good. You are directed down a side street to a very old building. It was a tight fit and luckily we had a small car. Your car is locked in overnight. The lift is very old and can only take a few people at a time which is understandable for its age. Great stay, great location! We will be back.
