We checked in at exactly 2pm. At the moment we opened the door, the room smell so good and it smell so clean. The AC was turned on too which was really great because it was a hot day. Receptionist was so friendly and approachable. We had a great stay at this hotel. Will surely book here again.

The room was air-conditioned once we arrived. But it was different to control the temperature with the remote. The curtains once pulled closed shon street lights through the top opening all night and day. So difficult to sleep. We left before 10am our first day and put the sign out for our room to be cleaned and when we returned at 2pm nothing was done. The blanket was not warm. We had to us our own blankets we had because we had driven up from Brisbane. There was no spare toilet paper only the roll on the dispenser. Otherwise clean and tidy little room.
