Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had well-appointed rooms with modern fittings and was very quiet, ensuring a comfortable stay. The staff were extremely friendly and eager to please, making sure all needs were met promptly. The location was convenient, with plenty of free parking available, making it easy to access nearby amenities. However, the dining experience was very basic and could be improved, offering limited options in a small box. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with some room for enhancement in the dining area.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean, equipped with all the essentials like shampoo, conditioner, and soap. The location was perfect for our needs, being directly opposite the bustling Doncaster Shoppingtown and offering easy access to cafes and restaurants. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with basic offerings not matching the advertised standard.
For my 40th birthday celebration, I stayed at this hotel with my husband and two kids. The rooms were very spacious with a balcony offering nice district views, but there was a small issue with a hole in the bathroom floor near the shower. The service included a welcome drink and happy hour. The location, while poorly maintained and dirty in some areas, suited our needs perfectly with plenty of free parking and easy access to a shopping center. The dining options were basic and could be improved. Overall, the hotel provided a mix of positives and negatives for our stay.
