Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Bendigo Health and the town center, making it perfect for business needs. The rooms, while clean and tidy, are quite small but still meet the expectations of a studio apartment. The service was incredibly apologetic and helpful, especially when issues arose. The dining experience was somewhat disappointing in terms of value for money. The location is great, within easy walking distance to the center, albeit with some minor quirks. Facilities were sufficient, though nothing exceptional.
The hotel was very clean and cozy, with rooms a little smaller than expected but still adequate. The service was welcoming, friendly, and went above and beyond to improve my stay. The location felt like home but had a downside when fully booked. The dining was enjoyable but a bit casual. A mix of positives and negatives, but overall a good experience.
