The hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were not up to standard in terms of cleanliness but were somewhat adequate, especially with the provided breakfast packs. The service had a mix of friendly and unhelpful staff members. The location was convenient with nearby amenities but slightly out of the town center. The food was decent, and some work was needed to maintain the dining area. Overall, the value for money was fair considering the facilities offered.

The hotel offers tiny rooms with shared facilities on the ground floor. Even though they offer to pay extra for a larger room, my room was very nice and clean with a good view. There are some major retailers nearby, and for those craving the Colonel's chicken, there's a KFC just over the road.

The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful, going out of their way for us. They were available to take our concerns to even when we left in the morning, and also accommodated my request to keep my luggage in the hotel for a few more hours before I went to the airport.

Location

The location is great, close to everything we wanted. It's within walking distance to UTAS Newham campus and gives discounts at the restaurant. However, it's next to the stairwell and the top floor entry door which closes loudly on a gas arm.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was excellent, close to shops and restaurants. However, they needed someone to check the work done by contractors; it was rather shoddy.
