Review Score: 4

Summary: We were on a road trip from Melbourne to Adelaide and looking for a good night rest. This turned out to be exactly what we didn’t want to experience. The hotel is situated at the busy intersection and our room is the closest to the intersection. Heavy traffic starting at 6+ and there are heavy trucks passing by every 10 seconds. Upon check out the front desk staff didn’t bother to find out whether we had a good night rest instead she started by asking “did you consume anything at the minibar?” We wouldn’t return to that hotel and we wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay there especially when you need a quiet rest after a long days drive. Extremely disappointing!
