Good stay
Pros:

having a parking space outside the accommodation was good

Cons:

Would have prefered not to have the accessible unit, but it was a last minute booking so happy to at least get in.
Having 4 Pillows being available in the unit would have been nice

Great location, very clean and warm.
Cons:

Had to leave my vehicle on the main road overnight due to no parking left. To be fair the booking didn’t guarantee parking though.

Pros:

I really love the location and how our room is just in front of your car. Really love it. Our room is in tje ground floor so its really convenient. The size of the room is pretty decent with small kitchen. The facts that its just out of cbd area is really nice as we get free parking. Moreover the hotel has huge washing machine for free too!!!!

I made the right choice to change my previous booking to this hotel.

Location wise is really close to westfield shopping mall. So its really convenient whereby you can find kmart, pack n save etc.

Cons:

All is good
