Was nice for short stay, but parking expensive!
Pros:

The location was great and room was nice.

Cons:

Parking is not included but you will only read that in property policies which states $50 per day. It is also not onsite, but is at the Westfield carpark.
This was disappointing and the property highlights are misleading in relation to this.
