Pros:

Strategically located to where I had to conduct work. E scooters close handy for transport.

Cons:

Shower over the bath,,,,,potential trip hazard. I would prefer to see no bath, and just a walk in shower.

Comfortable for the price
Pros:

Good parking. Close to tram and cbd. Comfy bed. The price is reasonable for what you get.

Cons:

The online photos make it look a little better than it actually is. Room wasn't as clean as I liked with the floor not vacuumed well. The building needs an upgrade. Slight smell of cigarettes because people smoke on their balconies.

Pros:

Room was ok

Cons:

Carpark availability. Paid for parking, when i returned at night after a show, there were no parks left (apart from 1 only which some inconsiderate 4WD owner decided to park across 2 parks). I was then told either get a refund and park on street, or park 2 hotels down in their carpark

Staff weren’t very friendly didn’t feel welcome
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Very disappointed that when I checked at 12pm if my room was ready after driving 4.5 hours I was told yes but would be charged an extra 40 to check in early. Not great service when other hotels will call once cleaners have been and is available to check in. Was told to come back at 3pm.
