I would stay here again. Hopefully they can fix the heater
Pros:

Location and size of the room

Cons:

There is no reception so if you have issues there is no one to speak to.
The heating unit was not coming out warm. No change on heat regardless of the temperature on the control

stay was ok but parking was a challenge. This should be stated clearly on web site.
Pros:

Central location

Cons:

No onsite carparking and entrance code did not arrive prior to arriving. Quickly sorted code. No window in room or exhaust fan in ensuite.

Great, comfortable hotel in the middle of town.
Pros:

The whole check in process is online. No staff at this hotel. But everything worked seamlessly. The rooms are as expected. Very clean and functional. The bed is on the harder side which we love. The location is fantastic. Right in the middle of town. Very happy to stay there again.

Cons:

If feels a bit soulless as there is not staff at all.

A cheap mistake.
Pros:

The location was good but hard to find. The room was ok - but no window. The bathroom was almost good.

Cons:

No lock on the door. A window would be good. A voucher for breakfast was "included" but never eventuated. No reception. No staff. Having to wait outside for over an hour to get access -- despite being in the afternoon of a weekday.
