Conveniently located accommodation. Smooth check in and friendly staff. Room was very clean with a comfortable bed.
Pros:

Conveniently located. Easy off street parking. Check in was smooth and we were able to extend to a late checkout with ease.

Situated on a one way street which makes it a little complicated if you miss where you’re going

Fauls advertisement, child endangerment and $780 of disappointment
Pros:

Property was clean and convenient to the Tran station

Cons:

Room was advertised as a two bedroom apartment but on arrival we were told that they don’t actually have two bedroom apartments and that our 10 and 12 year old girls would be staying in a different motel room to us and that this was normal practice and it was all ok because we would all have swipe cards to unlock each other’s rooms.

Pros:

Location for my appointments was great.
Close to cafe's and essentials. Shopping and leisure activities within walking distance.

Cons:

Directly above a child care centre, the noise in the morning was terrible. Directions into the parking garage would have been helpful before arriving after hours as I then had to navigate one way streets to get back to it. The instructions that the after hours attendant provided were vague and caused a lot of stress after a long driving journey.
