Brilliant Hotel. Centrally located. I'm so happy with the services that Ashleigh provided me as my flight was late, accommodated me with check out & gave me access to the library to complete my work. She is an absolute asset to you! Thanks Ash! Will definitely see your Hotel again.

I was excited to be staying at Peppers for a weekend. Things started poorly as at check in they couldn’t take a digital card - surprising in 2025. Then they informed us that room cards are 20 dollars if lost - a lot for a piece of cardboard … ok but not what any other hotel does. Then they gave us our room (see pic). A “deluxe” room with not a foot clearance around the queen bed - not enough room for a suitcase. Personally, I find this deceptive conduct when you compare it to the deluxe room pictures on their ads. Bait and switch. Fortunately we were looking forward to the hot pool in the building which is the number 1 reason we booked the room. It was ‘Closed for maintenance’ and they were not fixing it on a weekend … better to inconvenience guests than spend a little extra to do maintenance on a weekend I guess. Overall the experience was unnecessarily disappointing and I would certainly stay at other places that offer more for the same price.
