Would definitely stay again for ease, convenience and value for money
Pros:

Great location, handy to local supermarket, plenty of food options nearby, heaps of parking, easy to access and get onto motorway

Cons:

A little worn, bathroom fan goes from 6am-10pm and something was making a sound like running water, unsure if it was the heat pump or fridge.

It was in a good location the room was ok just an average hotel room, they ask for one of your cards for security purpos
Pros:

I liked the pool area even though I didn’t get to swim as it was cold and the pool is located in a cold area of the hotel. I liked the breakfast buffet it was amazing but almost all the food needed to be refilled and it took quite a while for it to be topped up again, bit overpriced if you ask me.

Cons:

I didn’t like the fact that my tv did not work at all, even when staff came up and attempted to fix it, it only worked for 3 minutes then lost signal. It was like that for my entire (1 night) stay, I told receptionist and they said they would go check once we’ve already checked out. I stay around to wait for her answer and she says I just checked it’s working but no it had to be a lie as I tried every button lastnight, I got this hotel for my kids to watch tv and it was really boring for them to not have a tv. Wouldn’t recommend

Would stay again
Pros:

Good location, the hot tub was a hit with the kids! (big pool not heated fyi).
Big spacious rooms, comfortable beds

Cons:

Could do with a refresh but the price probably reflects this. The tiling in the bathroom areas were absolutely freezing!

Pros:

Central, parking available so we walk around since i busy area is better just to walk but everything is closeny evan Pak n save across the road. Beds and place were clean and tidy suitable for my family with 2 kids.
I also like the options to check out late at 2pm which we did so we can sleep in, have breakfast, swim before check out

Cons:

Nothing could think off. Is what I expected with price so was good.
