I arrived early from perth, around 8am, and the hotel quickly prepared my room. i really appreciated this, because i was able to shower after my overnight flight. the reception staff scheduled a supplementary bed when my daughter decided to join me at the last minute. The location was central and near everything needed for my short trip.

the room was basic. i think that improvements are required. the hotel needs to buy new things.
