Stay was great would recommend you eat dinner elsewhere, free breakfast was delicious though so might have just been I l
Pros:

Easy access to public transport and shops

Cons:

Dinner was disappointing, lasagne was not fresh and seemed like it was over heated in the microwave, garlic bread was hard and no salad, I was charged $27 for it very disappointing

The hotel was clean and tidy, which is the main thing I wanted.
Pros:

Breakfast was very basic. What was there was good but it needed more fresh fruit.

Cons:

The parking location was not obvious so I went down the adjacent laneway.
