Good location, good value for money but very basic accommodation
Pros:

Brilliant location, made it so easy to walk around the shops, bars, restaurants and easy public transport from cereal

Cons:

It was really basic, which the price reflected but the carpet as really stinky and the shared bathrooms old and hard to get clean

gave us a place to sleep
Pros:

quick entry and and finding room

Cons:

shared bathroom was really unclean. There was a used pad stuck above the door and used gel bottles everywhere. The pad was what bought down the cleanlness

Pros:

The staff were excellent, room was huge and the bed was comfy as. I'd spent the previous 2 nights in the Mariat at Chatswood and hardly slept a wink. The Erko was homely and cool as.
I'm kinda bummed my international flight wasn't cancelled the next morning because I was keen to stay another night.
Next time.

Clean and comfortable.
Pros:

The Hotel facilities were clean and value for money however the Erko bar was disappointing.

Cons:

i was given 2 Bara sliders to try, the fish was good but the buns were soggy and inedible, having jyst landed from Perth, we had not eaten a decent meal and we're just looking for some good food, my partners chicken was good unfortunately my octopus dish was cold and rubbery, sorry but not nice at all.
