Pros:

Central well located bed was very comfy after a day of exploring.

Large room didn't feel boxed in.
Very clean and shower pressure was perfect nothing worst than having a shower and it trickles.
Staff very welcoming.

Overnight stay for an Event at the Gardens
Pros:

Location was perfect for us. Right near the Chinese Gardens. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The subsidised parking the lifts didn't work and as I'm disabled it made it a bit difficult. If I'd been in a wheelchair I'm not sure what I would have done.
Breakfast was pretty basic for $37 but I guess it had everything we needed.

Τεράστιο άνετο δωμάτιο σε καταπληκτική τοποθεσία όλα με τα πόδια κοντά στο κέντρο και στα αξιοθέατα.
Pros:

Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία . Κοντά στο κέντρο και στα αξιοθέατα. Με τα πόδια είδαμε τα περισσότερα. Εύκολη πρόσβαση σε όλες τις συγκοινωνίες για τις παραλίες και τον μεγάλο Zoo.

Cons:

Ίσως καλύτερη τιμή στο πρωινό.

Adequate, but a bit aged and dingy.
Pros:

The staff were very professional and polite. The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The room was very tired and outdated. The paint work was pretty appalling and it just felt shabby for the price. Everything was functional, it just wasn’t a particularly pleasant ambience to the room. In hindsight I wished I had paid slightly more and stayed elsewhere.
