Comfortable and close to everything.
Pros:

It’s right across the road from the casino which links to the Neville Bonner Bridge so you can easily walk to the cultural precinct in South Bank. It’s also really close to Botanic Gardens and Queen Street Mall.
It was great value for money.

Cons:

Nothing really, it’s being renovated but we didn’t hear any noise while we were there.
It’s not 5 star, so you wouldn’t stay here if you wanted something very special, but we liked it a lot.
