Pros:

nice room, good bed. quite room.

Cons:

room 17. There is a problem with the hot water in the shower.
some time it doesn't work and some times it slowly loose the heat. Flow is good so it cant be because it is used too much elsewhere.
The shower also leaks water, I think it is the hot

Everything was great except for the young tattooed man that checked us in, was not friendly at all and if you are going
Pros:

The property was great but didn’t know about the parking until the last minute and the young tattooed man that checked us in was so rude and not knowledgeable about any of the easy parking options, which was none.

Cons:

The young tattooed man that checked us in was quite rude and not wanting to talk to us at all.

Could be better.
Pros:

Not much, just cheapest at the time of booking due to app/3rd party issues with previous arranged booking.

Cons:

Excessive loud music from nearby night club and hoons doing skids on street around night club. Access to room not suitable for persons with mobility issues. Room could do with another bench for luggage and a chair for existing desk/ table.

Convenient
Pros:

The check-in process was smooth. Cash payment accepted, helping to avoid bank surcharges. The water pressure in the shower was strong. There was a bar under the hotel, which was convenient for dining. The location was close to the city center.

Cons:

It would be helpful to have a luggage rack in the room. There was no shower door, so water could leak into the toilet area.

Great location, was warned about the noise from nearby entertainmnet venues.
Pros:

Close to location

Cons:

Room 17 needs new washers in shower taps. The taps were turned off so hard to stop leaking I had great difficulty turning the shower on. As an older woman I found it difficult to turn taps off hard enough to prevent the shower dripping.
