I really don't know why I paid extra for a larger room? This "deluxe room" feels like an old, tired motel lost somewhere on the outskirts of town with a large inflatable mannequin laughing at every passer by but in particular laughing at people booking in. From the moment you walk in you feel this could be a hit or miss hotel and unfortunately it was a miss. Have stayed before at other half price hotels in the area but as my wife was coming this time with me I thought of upgrading. What a costly mistake. Pub was very nice and looks like new chef is trying hard to bring back customers. Morning cafe staff should come to work 15 minutes earlier so coffee's are ready for already waiting guests. Warm muffins were delicious (thanks again to the Chef!). Don't bother staying here, it is not the old Prince it used to be.....

While the hotel was comfortable and the bed was great, the room was extremely noisy mostly from people being rowdy on the street below. Also, the curtains were strange and didn’t fully cover the windows. The hotel needs to work on making the rooms more soundproof. I wouldn’t stay here again just based on the noise.

I rarely write poor reviews. But after spending $450au in order to have a king bed, the only option being a “corner suite” I was very dissatisfied. The bathroom is so small there isn’t even room for your toiletry bag. Need a towel to shower or dry your hands? Other side of the room. Not even a towel rack nearby. It’s that small. The whole layout is wack. Got a call, needed a pen and paper, nothing to be found. A bottle of water? Nope. Nothing. For a suite, it’s cramped and doesn’t include even the most basic amenities found in a motel. Maybe the cheaper rooms are better, but this suite was a total bust and total rip.
