We didnt enjoy the non black out curtains as we saw the sensor street light going on and off even 10 seconds maybe something setting the sensor off. The room was quirky, warm and really cool. It was a beautiful and amazing building. Single glazed windows were chilly and noisey though. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the outside of the building was getting a paint job and looked fresh.

The location is good, being in the centre of the town and within walking distance of most things. However, the garden suites are very expensive —over $800 for two nights!! We had a suite with another room on top, which was very noisy. The people upstairs banged and crashed around both nights, and there is a very thin roof between the two rooms. Avoid being in these rooms under the upstairs.

If your room is in the main part of the hotel there is no air conditioning, the bar across the road is noisy and the hotel next door is also noisy if there is a function on. The restaurant food is bland and overpriced, the waiters are super nice but the restaurant manager is grumpy and doesn’t acknowledge you.
