GOOD VALUE but shame about the coffee maker.
Pros:

QUICK FRIENDLY EFFICIENT AND HELPFUL STAFF. ROOMS ARE SIMPLE BUT VERY COMFORTABLE.

Cons:

IT WAS SO BUSY STAFF HAD TROUBLE STAYING ON TOP OF THE FOOD. RAN OUT OF FRUIT WHICH WAS DISAPPOINTING. ALSO YOUR BARISTA'S NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE COFFEE. $5 FOR AN UNDRINKABLE CAFE LATTE WAS NOT GREAT.

perfect for an overnight or longer stay
Pros:

easy to get there without your own transport, the light rail was 100m away .We were given exactly the room we asked for, quiet & away from lifts. Blackout blind was terrific, so was the staff member who helped us, and the free breakfast was exceptional for a 'budget' hotel

Cons:

nothing really
