Okay overall, parking with a truck sucks, DON'T BRING A TRUCK
Pros:

The area itself is lively, I had good access to people watch, the room itself was nicely done, close to the casino and other bars.

Cons:

The parking was terrible, if you have a large ute or SUV the parking garage isn't at all helpful and you need alot of patience to even get close to parking safely.

Just a hassle. When I got frustrated I said “look let’s just cancel the booking. And she said we can’t cancel your booki
Pros:

Good location, originally a good price!

Cons:

Wanted me to pay $150 bond
I originally parked in the Farmers park. It would have cost $13 overnight through ParkMate!
But I left, which then cost me $6. Then when I parked at the hotel that was another $20.

Good location.
Pros:

Great location, huge room with great heating.

Cons:

The lift is so old I was too scared to use it so stuck with the stairs, the place has a musty spice smell, the shower went completely cold after a minute and then 5 minutes later it went extremely hot, tv channels were rubbish no movie options.
