Everything but the room met or exceeded our expectations.
Pros:

The hotel is well located in the middle of Forster. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The vibe in the hotel was great each night with a live band on the Saturday night that had everyone up and dancing. The food was good, service in the bistro was good and the servings were a good size.

Cons:

The room was not finished with visible tape around the plumbing under the vanity and a tile missing. The first night we had cold showers as hot water had run out. And the air conditioner was very noisy.

Retro price for accommodation gold
Pros:

The room was a wonderful surprise. Brand new bathroom and cabinetry. Very small but compact with a door to a large balcony. The room was perfectly clean and the bathroom was amazing. It was Sof Origin night but could not hear a thing.

Cons:

There was nothing much we did not like. We were very pleasantly surprised.It was amazing value for money.The lack of information about wifi and other facilities could have been better communicated.
