Clean and comfortable
Comfortable and clean, okay for a quick trip and if you’re not planning on staying in your room. Shower isn’t the best, but customer service was great.

One and only!?
We stayed here as a last minute decision. The establishment was probably a conference centre but now largely unused. Room was comfortable and quite large but surroundings were in need of some TLC. . It was close to some good restaurants in the nearby shopping centres. I t felt a bit spooky being the only guests in the wing but could be pleasant if the place was full.

Accom is probably best described as motel style, but with nicer finishes. The grounds were well kept, parking was ample and the rooms were very comfortable!

Huge king-sized bed in a huge room...just fantastic!! Wished we had had the time to explore the property a bit more. Will certainly recommend this accommodation to others.
Keep up the great work!
