This used to be a good value stay but recently they made minor refurbishments to the rooms, added touch ups to an old hotel already falling apart. Redid varnish and paint, nothing special, the place still looks the same and now have increased their price quite a bit. The lobby is the same glum looking and dimly lit entrance space. Reception remains is cold and unfriendly. Staff are unwilling to price match and insist on the highest pricing for walk in. Toilets in the rooms still leak and don't flush properly. None of the superficial "improvements" or repairs to fixtures that previously needed repairing justifies the price increase. Other budget hotels in the vicinity and nearby area have made similar improvements but still managed to keep their prices from going up. The rooms are clean, the beds very comfortable. Other than that not much else positive I can say when you can get better value at other nearby properties. As of Oct 2023, there are three buildings adjacent to the back of the hotel undergoing demolition and renovations. If you book a room facing the back, you will be subject to this noise from 7am to 4-5pm, sometimes later. These are big jobs, I don't see them ending until at least Jan 2024, maybe later. If you book a room a the front, just know there is an al fresco restaurant immediately opposite the building which operates until around 11 or 12, there is also a restaurant with a live band 40m down the road clearly audible from these rooms in the evenings.
