It was a lovely experience and would definitely stay again
Pros:

The whole experience was really good. The staff were great. Paola the receptionist was generous and helpful. I liked the decor, linen and overall cleanliness. Room size was good and I was surprised to see a balcony.

Cons:

Bathroom - corners on floor could be cleaner. Inside the toilet door could have been cleaner, but minor as everything else was really clean. Parking is tricky for interstate travellers unless you’re lucky enough to get a spot like I was

very happy
Pros:

We stayed 1 night at Blenheim to attend the open day of UNSW on the 2nd day. The location is great, with walking distance to Coles, restaurants and the university. We arrived after business time but with instructions that staff sent, we had no problem getting the key and all what we need. The room was super clean, beds were very comfortable. Aircon was already on when we arrived. My child left his powerbank in the room and we contacted the reception. Staff helped find and keep it for us to pick up later on. It's a great experience.

Cons:

Room is small, bathroom is compact.
