I will always return to stay at this hotel.
Pros:

room service was amazing, staff are always friendly. Location is perfect, Panhead nearby is a big positive.

Cons:

Only thing I can fault about my stay was construction that was happening across the road, which isn't the hotel's fault. Otherwise I have nothing to fault them on.

Great location, room out dated.
Pros:

The property is actually inside the QT. The staff were friendly and the location is great.

Cons:

The rooms are very tired, with a mix and match of furniture. Unlike all the images there was no sofa in our room. The worst was the mattress, this had to be the worse mattress I have experience at this level.
