Good location.
Pros:

The cost of the accomodation and the comfort of the room

Cons:

Don't be close to the Gym as people start using weights just after 6am, so a bit noisy. The room also didn't have any coat hangers just hooks, which is a bit difficult when requiring a suit. Not a great view out of the window - just a wall.

Fantafabulous !
Pros:

The property is very close to CBD and convenient to get about. The room was clean and well maintained. Especially the bathrooms which I’m usually particular about was very clean and the bedroom was really comfortable. Staff was extremely hospitable and the overall stay was a great first experience. Would highly recommend to friends and family and would also visit again.

Cons:

Would be nice if the reception was a bit more inviting. While I was waiting for my cabs it would’ve been nice to have a seat. I also wished there was bedroom slippers and robes to get into after a long work day.

Perfect location, felt like someone was opening door while we napped anxiety
Pros:

Location was great.

Cons:

Someone opened my door {staff } and then lied about opening another door when I opened it again to look outside, instead of apologies
