Window into the hallway wasn't the best for noise but understand the need for airflow options

Great heritage pub! Everything you need for a stopover, bar, bistro, bottle shop.Staff were amazing!
Pros:

Breakfast is not provided

Cons:

Everything was great and the room was very clean. Only thing, was my room’s window was along the hallway coming from the elevators leading to the rooms. I could see shadows of people walking past, although you couldn’t see into the room and the blinds blocked that out.

The place did fully suit my needs and knowing more about the area I can make this work in the future.
Pros:

Room was awesome. The pub had amazing dining facilities.

Cons:

The room was great. Location was a bit of a challenge. As it was on a busy corner . So I drove past it a few times before I found the drive way.

Cheap, clean and great value for money.
Pros:

The room and ensuite was spacious and clean. We appreciated the tea & coffee options and we liked the mini fridge. Easy parking and we had no problems getting an uber to the Enmore Theatre. We also enjoyed happy hour and the Monday night steak dinner special was generous plus delicious. Highly recommend.

Cons:

The room only had a small window so there was not alot of natural light and the sliding ensuite door was wobbly but this did not detract from our stay.
