The room was clean and had everything we needed. Car parking outside the rooms and with the restaurant and bar right next door, was very convenient for dinner. All food was delicious and reasonably priced.

The Sphinx probably had its heyday in the 1980’s and still retains the optimism of that era. Our room was sparkling clean with none of the dreadful chemical deodoriser smell some older premises use. As an asthmatic - thank you Sphinx! The restaurant and bar are handy and the service excellent.

Rooms were extremely warm due to the room facing the afternoon sun. Aircon bately worked efficiently for the room size. Went and bought a fan from Myers store so we could sleep comfortably. Had bistro meals were great and plentiful for dinners. Had issue when wife and daughter walked back to room and were stopped and told to walk around in the excessive heat that evening by stsff. Unacceptable. They were not stopping in the gaming area, just walking through to access the room. Daughter was 13, accompanied by wife and just walking through... If this is an issue, then doors should be closed off and or monitored by security or staff. Had we known this was a problem then we would of left and asked for refund on first night. Such an inconvenience and in hot temperatures was not liked. Albeit another direct route to the rooms must be provided without accessing the gaming area. This could be a big issue if a family with young childres are staying, or in event of bad weather
