We paid the cancellation without even checking in - that says a lot.
Pros:

Nothing really.
The area didn't feel safe, the parking was shocking.
We were travelling for work and the staff didn't feel comfortable.

Cons:

We actually walked in, and cancelled the booking via the app (paid the cancellation fee) and rebooked somewhere else.
Parking in a back alley was bad, the whole environment just didn't feel right, and I wasn't going to insist that work colleagues (employees) who were travelling away from home were made to stay somewhere they were not comfortable with. We didn't even check in.

An Honest Review with some ++
Pros:

The Rooms are very comfortable with a smart TV- but with disconnected/removed internet access amongst maybe the cheaper rooms or possibly all. The beds are delightful and the bathroom is stunning. Clean and lovely with a vintage modern bathroom. Although there was an odd smell from the shower drain.

Cons:

The disconnected TV internet. The funny smell from the shower drain very sewer eggy.

Overpriced and disappointing.
Pros:

At least the bathroom was clean.

Cons:

We booked a stay for 1 night here and it cost $397. The room didn’t even have a bathroom, it was a shared toilet and shower. The sheets had stains on them and so did the fold out couch. The whole floor smelt like cigarette smoke and the fridge in the kitchenette didn’t work. For the price we paid I would have expected more. The staff were nice.

Pros:

Great convenient location

Cons:

The window in the room didn’t latch properly which meant the room didn’t stay cool and was really loud at night.
