Should have directions for the washer. Also, office hours are only until 5, so make sure you are there. Our room did not lock, so they had to give us a different room. I’m happy staff was still there.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very rude and shown aggressive behaviour with our family. The bathroom was not clean and upon requesting to check the guy started arguing and shown aggressive behaviour with my family. The manger came and cheked the bathroom was smelling, which she cleaned herself and sprayed fragrance. Overall on requesting a towel to the guy he shouted rudely in the lobby, " what? Why? There is already a towel I can see in the chair." We were three of us in the room and I saw only two towels in bathroom and didn't noticed third one was opposite way in the studio at dining chair.

King bed was small, needed updating. Car parking across the road cost $105 but we parked in wrong spot & we’re fined $190 by carpark owner, very expensive for us & the hotel should reimburse us $105 as we didn’t use their specific spots
