Categories

Cleanliness
7.2
Mixed reports: many guests noted clean rooms and areas (pool described as clean), but several complaints about garbage left by others, uncollected trash, sheets not being changed and a slight smell in one room led to a below-target cleanliness score.
Service
8.4
Generally positive: numerous mentions of friendly, helpful staff and a complimentary room upgrade, though a few service issues (housekeeping routing and charging for 'complete cleaning') lowered this slightly from excellent.
Location
9.4
Consistently praised: many guests cited excellent, very convenient location within walking distance of the falls, Clifton Hill and restaurants; this is a strong standout for the property.
Room Quality
7.3
Mixed: several guests praised comfy beds and large rooms, but there were recurring notes about older mattresses, noisy air conditioning, no bath plug and small sinks which reduce the room-quality score.
Amenities
8
Generally positive: pool, hot tub and sauna were praised as clean and warm; however seasonal pool closures and occasional AC failures tempered the rating.
Value for Money
8.8
Frequently noted as good value: multiple guests commented on great price for what you get and strong overall value, justifying an above-target score.
Food and Beverage
6.8
Limited/negative mentions: little food service detail overall, with a specific complaint that only coffee was offered in the morning and staff would not provide hot water for tea, yielding a below-target score.
Overall Experience
7.3
Mixed-positive: many guests reported great stays, clean rooms and friendly staff with return intent, but noise issues, occasional housekeeping lapses and some amenity shortcomings kept the overall experience slightly below the target.

We stayed for our honeymoon, it was great, clean and close to everything we needed.
Pros:

Perfect location, close enough to the main attractions, but far enough away from the huge crowds at Clifton Hill.
Great price for what you get, and very friendly staff. The hotel was also nice and clean.

Cons:

It would have been great if the outdoor pool was open because it was still warm out, but I understand it closes seasonally.

Other than unable to have a cup of tea in the morning everything else was good. Not everyone drinks
Cons:

In the morning they only offered coffee. I dislike coffee, I had my own tea bags and they couldn't give me hot water so that I could make my morning tea.

Pros:

The hotel was in a great location, close to all the essential amenities.

Cons:

When I asked the housekeeping staff to clean my room, I was told to contact the reception. At the reception, I was informed that I would have to pay extra for a “complete cleaning,” which was never clearly explained to me. During my two-night stay, the bedsheets were not changed, I was handed over washroom towels and tissues by house keeping and the garbage was not collected. Additionally, there was loud noise at times during the night, making it difficult to sleep comfortably. Overall, the housekeeping service, noise levels, and lack of flexibility in addressing my concerns made my stay disappointing.
