Modern Clean tidy rooms perfect for a night away going to an event at the local events centre… restaurant good but a little small and didnt manage the groups from the event and shut early so we had to go to KFC for food!

Staff were veey helpful and quick to deal with check ins and sorting a carpark. Made everything very simple and fast after a long trip. Although, I am wondering why the $100 deposit is still pending in my account..... If McEntral could please contact me regarding this thanks.
