It was fine for short stay
Pros:

comfortable and good location. Cafe good, closes too early.

Cons:

no staff after 3pm, and needing to know codes. This was not made clear at checkin. Lugging 20kg bag to first floor, had maintainence not been available, would have been a drag. The sign in bathroom says keep door closed as steam from shower may trigger fire alarms: a ventilation fan might help

Great one night stay to watch the football at Allianz Stadium.
Pros:

Excellent value for money and included in the rate was a really nice breakfast. Walking distance to Allianz Stadium and light rail. Really clean room with everything you need including great reverse cycle air con. All staff were lovely. We didn’t need parking but I did notice there was a car park. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Nothing.
