The Marsden provided everything we needed for our. Nice clean tidy room, good beds to come back to each evening. And the shower was one of the best we've experienced in all our years of traveling.

Overall this was great accommodation for myself and my daughter :) The staff were friendly, the room was clean and tidy and it was very local to the shops. The only con was that there was no air conditioning, so it was a little hot at night time. It was also under renovations so looked run down from the outside and the pool wasnt going. Othet than that it was fine :)

I’m sorry to say but we did not like our stay For the price we payed for 2 nights $498 It was an unfinished renovation room with paint all over the windows, room only had a undercoat, no extractor fan in bathroom, and also had masking tape over the smoke detector which is not safe, our sliding door to go outside had building and old hotel rubbish. also the guest above us was outside smoking weed So not a great experience at all

Overall the room was nice as it had recently been renovated, nice bed and sheets. However, the bathroom tiles still hadn’t been cleaned properly, the shower head leaked and was either boiling hot or cold, no hand towel rail. No iron in the room. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel seemed a bit dingy but the rooms were nice once you got inside.

Great effort on the new upgrades. Would have been good if the finish matched the expensive new furnishings and materials used in the upgrade. Bit of a let down in the finishing of the refurbishment.

Being updated but what has been done is good
The King Size room I booked was well appointed and modern. Everything was very clean. Some parts of the hotel are being updated so the stairway seemed to have paint on it tho the corridors were fine. The pool is currently not in use. It’s small but adequate. The area it was in looked fine. The reception and staff were was well done. The restaurant opens in about six weeks approx. Car park well marked. There is no lift but the staff took my heavier bag up for me.

I wish we knew about the renovations before booking, we booked for the pool for our kids, the shower was dirty and the bathroom floor still had dust from the renovations. The bedroom and linen and was amazing, the reception was great. Once the renovations are completed I am sure the place will be amazing.

They are in the middle of renovations when we stayed so the whole place is not quite ready. Not a big deal for us though. In saying that it is evident that the room was put together in a hurry. The room was clean/tidy but not spotless and the net curtains smelled. The beds were true-to-size and very comfortable though. For some reason, there was no fridge in our room but saw other rooms had them. The room is also quite bare (no microwave, no spare towels or bedding and no air conditioning). All in all value-for-money budget accommodation.

Currently under refurbishment. Could eventually be good but currently a construction zone. I would recommend everyone to stay clear of this place until work is complete. Pool is full of green slime. Public areas all very dusty. Shower did not drain properly. We couldn’t enter car park to check in as driveway was blocked with orange cones. Very inconvenient when needing to offload luggage. Trash bins had not been emptied from the previous guests in the room. No fridge in room - just an empty space where fridge should be. Wish I had never booked this place.
