Visiting from the USA. Clean rooms and common areas. Rooms were very large. AC and ceiling fan kept things cool. Balcony was comfortable and afforded views of the tracts. We did not choose the breakfast as we thought it was a bit pricey. The restaurant dining area was very nice , though and decorated beautifully.

Lovley check in staff, when she heard it was my birthday the next day there was a knock on the door withing an hour and the waiter brought me up some cup cakes and a hand written birthday card saying happy birthday and hoped i would enjoy my stay, very heart warming. I booked a suite as a treat to myself and it was huge, OK the hotel was built in the 80's but has been very well maintained.

Bottom floor room below ground level. Like a dungeon looking out to a paddock. Water leak on bathroom floor. We booked out within 20 minutes and went somewhere else. Take it off your list.

We had a good stay our room was huge comfy bed very clean. Some things could do with a little TLC, and a couple extra utilities etc in the kitchen would be handy. Breakfst was pretty good a very handy option without having to go out in the morning everything was kept full which was awesome. A bit of customer training on the front desk could be a thort just intitial greeting guests etc. But overall our stay was enjoyable.
