Beautiful room. Unfortunate about staffing
Cons:

Sadly the reception was closed. I was meant to receive a code to get the key card which was round the corner. It was a little complicated to get the key to get in. Once in it was great.

Disappointed paid extra for balcony view, no view at all, just brick and steel.
Pros:

Location and tidy

Cons:

Balcony was very disappointing, so tiny couldn't sit next to each other, and when on balcony 1 person had to sit next to air con/heater unit that was blowing cold air. Netflix didn't work without own subscription so couldn't use. Microwave too high up and unable to reach comfortably, advertised view was non existent.

Perfect stay for closeness to Essendon Fields exhibition centre, well appointed for such a small space and super clean which I really appreciate

Cons:

Bed very hard but I understand it’s priced accordingly so can’t expect too much
