Love this hotel. It is unpretentious but provides quality service and comfort. Very comfortable beds, welcoming bar with friendly staff and the food in the restaurant was excellent. Both myself and my family have stayed here many times and not had a bad experience at all.

Clean and simple rooms, all you need for a quick stopover. Lovely hosts that really went out of their way for us. We arrived quite late and they had the room ready with the heating and lights on for us. Such great communication too. Thanks to the team at Birches.

Was awesome place to stay. One of the best places I have stayed for a while. Very accommodating of our group (the last hurrah group). Nothing seemed to much and always went out of their way to help us out.

This hotel has the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. It is clean and well maintained. Glad I stayed here. Breakfast has plenty of variety and very tasty. The hotel is a little way out from the centre of the city but a bus route runs out the front.

Went on a business trip and was impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel. The bar has a cozy feel as well and really enjoyed my drink and breakfast. The only thing to improve on would be the availability of concierge (basic) request as really struggled to get this given the urgency at the time of the visit. Nevertheless, the overall experience was really good.

Convenient to the airport (10 min.), great comfortable room. The restaurant served gourmet meals, way better than we expected. A little more expensive, but worth it. It was also very easy to find. Restful sleep after a long days drive.

Great place to stay with kids. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and tidy. Close to Northlands mall and city. Always found a car park and the free wifi was a bonus for the kids. No complaints from me.
