Friendly staff. It is a bed for the night at a cheap price. Shower had no pressure. Handy to casino and theres heaps of food options down the street. Budget accommodation- if you are just wanting a cheap place for the night this would do. Lift was under maintenance and going up the stairs with bags to 2nd floor was a mission.

Over all it was a decent stay, the bathroom was very dated but clean. The room itself was quite large, with a lack of a living room space. Sheets on the larger bed did not appear freshly changed which was quite off putting
Main room, king sized bed as well as a single
Shower over bath, 2 steps to get in, have to be very careful as its very slippery upon exiting the tub

Older hotel but clean and tidy. Our room was on the 2nd floor facing the road. A little noisy on Saturday until about 2am. Our next stay we will get a room facing Collinwood St. Room was very large with a double and single comfortable bed. Bathroom was alittle dated but clean and functional

Staff was really helpful and nice. Area is central so a bit noisy and not very nice. Rooms are big, reasonable price but old and not well kept. There was a whole on the ceiling and mould in the bathroom, so probably not for a long stay.
