Avoid this place at all costs. Unless you enjoy staying with insects, breathing in cigarette smoke, and living in a room
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This was one of the worst places I have ever stayed. Cockroaches and insects were everywhere, there was a strong cigarette smell throughout the property, and the carpet was covered in dust and dirt.

After checking in, I felt so uncomfortable with the condition of the room that I checked out within a couple of hours. I did not feel safe or comfortable enough to stay overnight. The accommodation was simply unliveable.

I genuinely do not understand how this place is allowed to operate in its current condition. In my opinion, it requires urgent inspection and action from the local council.

Photos deceiving. Room disgusting. Location your worst nightmare.
Pros:

It has potential.

Cons:

Pictures are so deceiving. My husband and I wanted to have a little getaway here. But we ended up leaving 3 hours after checking in. Almost everything was broken, stained or dirty or all of the above. Even the suburb was… uncomfortable. No one spoke English and they stared at you as if you aren’t welcome there. The staff were ok though not friendly not particularly rude.

Cons:

There was no parking, didn’t look anything like the photos on booking.com.
Booked a superior queen room and we DID NOT get what we booked. No disabled accessibility which makes it hard for people who are disabled and book there and for people with babies and prams which we are one. We literally carried our pram up and down stairs.
The room was not clean to what a hotel room is supposed to be. Broken cupboards in the bedroom and bathroom, no bin, no fridge and there were cockroaches in the room as well.
Very disappointed and will not be booking there again.

Pros:

This is perfect for an overnight stay. Even though a street festival was going into the early morning, my room was quiet as. and comfortable and clean.

Cons:

There was no desk or chair in my room, but there were communal areas. The TV was above the head of the bed. Not that I had any intention of watching TV.
