"This is an ok hotel. But don't advertise parking then say no we don't have any and we cldnt accommodate a ute anyway. We booked here as they advertised parking. Also fix the power sockets so they don't hang out of the wall and most modern hotels have USB plugs. This hotel doesn't."

Bolton Hotel

"I enjoyed the well appointed room, it had everything a business traveler might need. I appreciated how quiet the room was, super comfy bed and good water pressure in the shower. Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Decent hotel gym, and it was good to have an informal cafe downstairs and a fancier restaurant upstairs. Thank you for a very pleasant if too brief stay."
