“built for comfort”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

I stay here several times a year and can see that it's being gradually refurbed. Rooms are fine, parking is free and the view is pretty. The reception area and corridors are neat but in need of an update. The lift, though, is in urgent need of attention. It is loud and clunky. If this is the ONE thing that... More

I very much enjoyed my stay here, the staff where fantastic and VERY helpful. So the hotel needs a bit of an upgrade (Exterior/foyer, lift and corridors) but my room seemed modern, updated and pretty etc.. (Including the bathroom).

“Crying for refurbishing!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2013

The place is in a good area. Not far to the city centre and in front of a nice park. They have free parking and a very nice swimming pool. But the rooms area, corridors and our room were really out of fashion and shabby. And the elevator (yes, just one) is absolutely noisy and scary. They even switch it... More

Hi Pink Lady I am pleased you enjoyed your stay however I do believe you may have mixed up the property review - unfortunately we do not have any two bedroom suites with cooking facilities. It does sound like you had fun though and the place was lovely. Kind Regards Damian Gillings Executive Assistant Manager More

“Adequate choice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2013

We enjoyed a five-night stay at this hotel. The staff were all obliging and helpful. The helped organise our tour itinerary. The $10 continental was good value - we loved the automatic pancake maker machine! With regard to the room, we felt the bathroom was little outdated. The hot water taps were set too hot and were difficult to control... More

Hi Gondwana80 (and our near neighbors just across the sea) That pancake machine is certainly a hit with our guests and $10 for continental breakfast is almost to good to be true - its a great way to start the day I agree. Sorry the hot/cold tap symbols were missing - I have asked housekeeping to inform maintenance of any... More

The bar and restaurant were shut with a request to use the one at the Chifley grand a little further down the road. Our room overlooked the car park rather the Adelaide parks and was a little noisy overnight as... More
