If you value your sanity and safety you won't stay here
Pros:

It was large

Cons:

I didnt stay, it was that terrible.
To start with, the building is in a bad location, I buzzed to be let in, which was ignored even though I was there exactly when I said I would be.
Thankfully someone was coming out so I got in, away from the intoxicated person fighting air.

Check in was smooth. Thats where the good news ends.
Building is shabby and old. Got to my room and whilst it looked clean, clearly it wasnt as I started reacting immediately. They used so much air freshener that it has to be covering something up.
I am now covered in a rash and I was only there for a total of 15 minutes.
Also they lied to me, when I let them know about the overwhelming smell, they told me the room was just cleaned before I arrived at 430, however they had already told me the room was cleaned at 10am.

You get what you pay for. Cheap dirty apartment.
Pros:

the location was perfect for the footy.

Cons:

baby cockroaches on tiles in kitchen area, also in bathroom. hairs of animals and human on spare warm blankets, yuck, pillows as thin as paper. no one in reception to answer questions, when you call it goes un answered. receptionist was running from this hotel to the other hotel she owned so was never around. no cleaners to clean room, receptionist went up with a cloth and spray and wipe when my room wasnt ready for checking in. still waiting to get my bond back

Great family holiday but reception needs some improvement.
Pros:

Loved the location and the cleanliness

Cons:

A bit of dusty mould was blowing onto the cot sheets from the air-con we think. Reception never returned my driver's license after scanning it at check-in and i was never notified...even during the following 4 days we were in Melbourne. So was a pain getting it sent back to Adelaide.

Perfect for a family in a great location
Pros:

Fantastic location, easy walking distance to restaurants and the MCG. Very clean and well-maintained property. Everyone in our group arrived at different times and this was not an issue.

Cons:

It's not that we didn't like anything, we had a fabulous stay - one bedroom didn't have a door - not a problem for us because we were a family.
