Wonderful Stay
We had a wonderful stay. The view from the lakeside rooms is amazing, spacious and very comfortable Nice to see traditional small soap and shampoo bottles instead of the refills.Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Although not the most convenient city location, a huge shopping center is only 10min walking distance and has a Metro stop for fast access to Sydney CBD. The hotel restaurant is very affordable and can highly recommend. Free hotel parking is a big bonus

Never come back again!
The toilet is weird. It's extremely high and uncomfortable. The bathing towel is smelly! The funny thing is not only one bathing towel has this problem. All your bathing towels for 3 days are the same funny smelly. The car park is a mile away from your hotel room. The hotel has no lift which means if you have a heavy luggage but the room isn't on the ground floor, you are gonna die! Overall poor experience!!!

Very nice place to stay. A lot quieter and a nicer outlook than another nearby motel. Easy walk to the hospital and shops.
Will certainly stay here again
