It was a slow week so we were upgraded to a huge suite with two balconies and two bathrooms. Absolutely loved having a w
Pros:

Centrally located right opposite tram stops, walking distance to beaches, restaurants, anything you’d possibly need. We were upgraded to a suite which was bigger than many apartments. It was fantastic.

Cons:

It could get a little loud, but that’s the risk you take staying somewhere central above a venue.

Stunning hotel - but slightly noisy!
Pros:

Such a cool vibe - the decor was gorg and we loved the location. The food at the bar was also very good!! We went there for breakfast and it was 10/10. Staff were also super lovely and parking was secure and onsite for only $10. Will be coming back to stay in Summer for sure!

Cons:

We had a nice balcony, however it meant that we could hear everything from outside. We stayed on a Saturday night and were woken up multiple times by people on the busy street below. If you plan on being in bed early on a weekend, would recommend you request an internal room!

It is a great place to stay, and I will come back again.
Pros:

Service was great and friendly. Breakfast was well presented and checkout was smooth. over all the location and facilities were fabulous.

Cons:

I was curious why there was not another mirror even a small mirror other than the one in the bathroom which blocked a full length view due to the position of the basin and shelf.
