A really great place to stay especially if you have sporting events at the Mount or Blake Park. Everything is clean, tidy and very comfortable. Check in at reception was easy and you were made to feel right at home with excellent customer service. The location is also safe and handy to eating places which was so handy. We will certainly be back when we have another sporting event up the Mount for sure!

It was quite noisey in the early hours of the morning - another visitor was out side on a call on speaker could just about hear word for word it was like they were in the room with us - not sound proof. Sucked when it was the one day I could sleep in!

Anne
Comfortable and clean
Stayed for one weekend night. Room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Downsides were the road noise outside ...despite the 'whisper windows' you can still hear a hum of traffic and I didnt see the point in putting on the heat pump to drown the noise. The location is also a bit away from the Mount's main drag, but not an issue if enjoy walking or have your car.
