Resoable price hotel at CBD area
I like the location . Although breakfast is very limited but good enough. Reasonable price at CBD area. You have to pay for car park but at least is secure.

Requested early check in but wasn’t able to check in till 1.45pm. Requested help with bedding at 5pm but was told housekeeping was closed. Found own extra blankets in basement cupboard. Very noisy surroundings due to construction tarps. Windows didn’t close. Carpet worn bare in parts.

This hotel is very reasonably priced for a 2 bed apartment for 4. Yes it is very basic and tired but it is clean and the staff are so friendly. It includes a cooked breakfast buffet style. Can’t really complain and not their fault but the city has road works everywhere and was noisy with banging and machines right outside till gone 3am they stopped.

Good value but basic accomodation. Good location. Parking arrangements were limited and difficult but manageable.
Advertising and costing is not misleading but what you would expect for the cost. Some staff much more friendly and helpful than others
