Pros:

Amazing Staff. They went above and beyond.

Third party booking agent did not pass on necessary request for single beds so I do not rate them highly at all.

Terrible Check in Process
Pros:

Check in process was terrible. Reception was closed when we arrived - closed at 5pm. Placed on hold when trying to check in my phone. Required to upload licence and credit card information despite the fact that the room was already paid for. Codes did not work to access the building. Took mulitple phone calls. A passweby on the street noticed out dilemma and reinforced taht others had expressed concern regarding this process. Took over an hour. Room itself was OK but the check saga spoiled our stay.

Pros:

Good location. Bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately there was very heavy rain and water penetrated the air conditioning duct in the bathroom. It needs attention

Good location
Pros:

The location and condition of the property were very good. Unfortunately, we found our bed quite soft, meaning we didn’t sleep very well. Certainly not the fault of the staff, but someone had been smoking - maybe in the next room. The smell was very strong. I'm not sure if there was also a dog next door, but it was barking intermittently from early morning till we left at 9.30.

Modern, clean and comfortable.
Pros:

Great overnight stay at the Crown on Darby. 2 bed, 2 bath accommodation. Very modern and clean. Situated on Darby St where there was a lot of choice of places to eat and drink. Would have been nice to stay a few more nights but on a road trip.
