It was comfortable and in a convenient location. The rooms just need to be renovated and updated.
Pros:

It was in a convenient location and the beds were comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The bathroom had many issues. The water from the shower continually leaked into the floor, even with the shower door closed. The bathroom sink was stained and pitted from use over time. The tv only had free to air channels and they didn’t always work. The reception kept dropping in and out.

Great location to explore CBD and easy to get to by Train
Pros:

Great Breakfast with a very good choice of food. Staff friendly and helpful. Room & bed was very comfortable. Loved the location and would stay here again

Cons:

The furniture & bathroom were a little tired looking. Our room view of the carpark wasn’t the best. Felt like we could of had a better view as the Hotel was empty

The staff were fabulous and deserve a medal for some of the selfish guests they have to pretend to listen to when they w
Pros:

Beautiful facilities
Helpful staff
Central location

Cons:

We had what could be an adjoining room but wasn’t for our stay
We didn’t know the guests in the room next to us but they were whining to the poor staff about every little thing
The hotel has a quiet time to help guests sleep. We were not even making any noise but the idiots next door rang reception one minute after quiet time started to complain we were being too loud
The lady came up and asked us to be quieter which we complied to
One minute later before the staff member could even get back down stairs the phone in the room rang because the losers next door had already phoned and complained they could hear talking
The talking was the staff member coming to the door because of their earlier complaint.
They phoned a second time 30
Seconds after the staff got them off the phone from the first round of ridiculous whining
You are not babies if you are tired go to sleep
People talking in the next room is not excessive noise
If you want to excessively whine about any little thing you can including small amounts of noise from next door in room 26then stay home or better still go camping in the bush in the middle of nowhere so nobody else including the hotel staff or your neighbours has to put up with your arrogant self obsessed attitude.

Staff were great, however was disappointed with the room.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

My room and even the whole floor had a very strong musty/mouldy smell and felt like it needed a really good clean. The room/bathroom/air con were all very dated and would benefit from a renovation. For the price point, I was expecting an elevated experience, this was unfortunately not the case.
