Convenient and value for money

Very convenient for us and value for money and the shower was amazing!
Good to see a full length mirror in the room.
Great kitchen area in the main indoor garden area that everyone can use

シドニーへのアクセスご良く、コスパの良いホテル
Pros:

シドニーまでのアクセスが良く、駐車場も無料、部屋も広く快適でした。ホテルの中心に広いロビーのような空間があり、リラックスできます。隣にセブンイレブンがあったのが、とても便利でした。

Cons:

今回4番目のホテルでしたが、オーストラリアでは、トイレがすべて陶器の便座で冷たくて、ウォシュレットがありませんでした。

Have stayed on multiple occasions, and would definitely stay again.
Pros:

We've stayed there before on several occasions. Excellent value for money for what it is & location. It's a budget hotel, so not high expectations & we really only wanted somewhere clean & well located to sleep.

Cons:

As mentioned, this is a budget hotel on a VERY busy road. Couldn't really open the windows etc without being polluted.
