The venue was clean and fairly large. Brand-new rooms were outstanding, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. Buffet breakfast, the food was appetising. Late check-out was useful. Reception was very friendly.

The hotel was brand-new and in a central location. Popped in The Crab Shack for shots before sleep, it was within walking distance of the venue. The guest room was well-kept and the bed was comfortable. Very good service at the cafe!

Right place for a day tour, would recomand. The units are well laid out, warm. CBD - Lambton Quay district is worth looking into.

The stay was truly memorable; no complaints. We appreciated staying in the place thanks to staff and location. It took us 10 minutes on foot to get to the downtown. There was a good bar with a good choice of different food, such as burgers, fries and pizza. The hassle-free check-in process too.

Didn't like the area, it was really busy.

Very handy location, apologetic staff, plenty of food for the continental breakfast. I appreciated my stay from check-in to downstairs bar with cool drinks. There was free WiFi that worked well throughout the property. Very clean and very nicely decorated hotel in CBD - Lambton Quay district. Plus, it was just next door to both the town and the waterfront.

I loved so pleasant staff, handy location. Absolutely delicious food was served here, absolutely superb breakfast. Room service was admirable, quick check-in. There was a modest restaurant, the shops and supermarkets next door. Visited few places in the centre, just a pleasant stroll away from the hotel...

The bed was not comfortable, unfortunately.

We loved the reasonably priced location of the hotel and the comfortable decor of our room. Absolutely nice staff, helpful room service. The continental breakfast was to die for. A good stay with a heated swimming pool.
