I would have appreciated better signage of Olinda Road, giving us confidence that we were on track
Pros:

I did not stay for breakfast, but it would have been nice if a menu had been provided , showing what was available for breakfast?

Cons:

There needs to be much more street lighting at the rear carpark of the property, and also better signage and lighting at the front of the property.

Coffee/tea facilities need improvement

Loved the facilities, especially the common area with pool table where you can sit, relax and have fun.

Cons:

The room and bathroom could've been cleaned better, we saw a few bugs and mosquitoes. But the beds were comfy to sleep.

Be careful and aware of the limitations of this place.
Pros:

Location is great.

Cons:

Room allocated had no "garden view". See attached photo.

Only other guests were located close to our room and the walls are thin and noisy.

Bathroom is tiny, almost unusable.

Swimming pool was unheated and freezing.

Pros:

Nothing just location

Cons:

The room was extremely small. Location of the room was bad. We could hear noises throughout the night from other rooms. Bed wasnt comfortable . The spring made sound even when one turned. Bathroom wasn't clean up to the standard. No mini fridge or any amenity in the room whatsoever. It was awful. We cut short the trip to one night and we paid for two .
