shared bathrooms were a bit challenging, and entry through the bar / tab was a bit intimidating.

location, bar and restaurant

good location; near the light rail, street parking nearby, cafe across the road

have liked a small bar fridge & tea/coffee facilities in the room or a separate area to keep such things

rates, parking available though not enclosed, and fairly close to town center but areas of interest are a

a wonderful little spot that is easy to get to, ample parking and is attached to the diggers for room service

room completely opens (you could literally jump out of it) do not stay here if you have little kids could so

the presence of an ev charger also helped us to choose this accommodation over others

kids screaming in the pool at 7am

the lounge bar was closed by 10pm
