We were staying over during V8 Supercars weekend for 4 nights. This place was very average at best. The rooms weren't very clean when we checked in and they were not serviced at all during our stay. We had to ask for replacement towels and extra toilet paper. The room we had had a King Sized bed and a sofa bed. When we asked to have the sofa bed made up, they just delivered sheets and a small duvet. They had unfolded the bed but had left it to us to make the bed. I certainly wouldn't look to stay here again and would not recommend it to others.

This place had a very misleading Expedia blurb, it was dirty, rude staff and incredibly noisy. Would never stay here again. The only positive is it’s location.

We booked a stay here and had to cancel our trip due to an accident. I knew it was nonrefundable but sent them two emails asking if we could just rebook it. I never received any replies from them. I would have appreciated a response even it was “no”. When we rebook our trip we will not be staying here.
