One person on front counter at check in at 2.30pm. Clogged drop off transit area, double parked on street. Then told by reception that oh the parking well, it is a bit busy today due to caravan show. You are welcome to walk through and see if you can find a park. Otherwise go find another parking facility further away. Fore warning this could be the case would of been appreciated, especially when i rang the day before to confirm the parking position for your establishment. Price for the room i think was totally over the top. Room very unpleasant to stay in, air conditioning in room and also outside room very uncomfortable. Price

Nice modern rooms. Quiet facility. Great restaurant options around. A bigger kitchenette with more fridge space (or less minibar items) and a toaster would be good. Cutlery and drinking cups would be good also.

I was charged for the item from the minibar even though I declared at checkout to the reception guy that I hadn't consumed anything from minibar. But I have got still charged. Then accounts send me an invoice which I told them it's not correct and they should have not charge my credit card prior to informing me. Not a fair business practice. I haven't received a response from the accounts team regarding this disputed charge till now. It seems the minibar attendant may have mixed up my room with another as the room number does not match the invoice. The housekeeping team was not aware of which rooms are checked out, so I believe both teams need additional training. Specifically, the minibar attendant should be more careful in reporting, as I should not have been charged for items I did not consume.

We were kindly upgraded for our anniversary. The room was overlooking the RNA show grounds. The bed was comfy and room was nice. Pool was at a nice temp, but quite a lot smaller than it looked in photos. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get any sleep until 1am - the restaurants/bars below were blasting music. Staff offered us complimentary breakfast to make up for this.

Hotel was very nice. But I picked this hotel for the parking but it was full because it's also open to the public. I drove in, there was no space and tried to drive back out, I wasn't in there 2 minutes and it tried to charge me $35. Not good.
