Great location primarily, but also very nice rooms & facilities looked good
Pros:

Location. Our room was huge & nice. We didn’t have a chance to use any facilities, but they looked good.

Cons:

We were at first concerned that it’s right next to rail track, but the double glazing is very effective & you do not notice the trains.

Great location and large rooms, checking was friendly and easy - Breakfast staff were terrible, rude
Pros:

Location and large rooms comfortable beds. Staff at Check in.

Cons:

Staff at Breakfast were rude and had horrible customer service. Young man with Moustache and young lady had no customer service skills and were too busy talking about the previous night out (Friday) and who they were trying to sleep with - they were also swearing about the experience. Unfriendly, rude and it felt like it was a hinderance that I wanted to order breakfast and coffee. Very poor and they should look for alternate work.

Great staff, very good location and exceptionally clean
Pros:

Great location, friendly helpful staff, very clean

Cons:

TV in the lounge room was only working for casting, not free to air.
Shower head had to be hand held as it would only face the wall, and the shower door wouldn’t stay open. Really awkward to use
Some of the furniture was tired and worn

Pros:

Great location and friendly staff always polite, helpful and attentive to requests.

Cons:

Ageing property with a need to update their air system. May have had a room not used regularly as needed to ask for a new hair dryer due to it not working and a new kettle due to grime build up. Also, as it’s important to some, no full length mirror in the rooms.
