Suited our needs, was a nice place to stay.
Pros:

Room suited purpose and was clean and tidy. Flexibility in check in but we weren't told that until we neally got there. If we had known we would have had more family come with us to stay. Family didn't come because they would nothave meet latest check in time. slightly frustrating.

Cons:

was told I would have a car park but on arrival our alloted park was taken and no others available. No 'normal' tea or coffee available. Hot water for shower seemed to be limited.

Very enjoyable
Pros:

Excellent location. Comfortable and clean.

Cons:

The step up to the shower which is approx 30cm makes it difficult to get in and out safely. I would imagine this being particularly problematic for older guests

Lovely area average room and the bathroom need a good scrub.
Pros:

Location is good

Cons:

Be careful when booking your room. Didn’t really understand no view meant a box room on the carpark $240 not well spent.
