The room felt dirty. The carpets were stained with burns next to the bed. Walls in need of painting and the windows did not shut properly in the main area or the bathroom. The sofa bed for the third adult was really bad and was only made slightly better with the mattress topper provided. Not any good for a decent sleep. Checked out early and wouldn’t book again. Misleading images online. Room needs attention.

The stay was nice. Our fridge was set too cold and all of our food that we had in there got frozen and was no good to eat. It had to be thrown out. That was very disappointing. I don’t like wasting food but I didn't really have a choice as the food was no longer edible. Some sort of reimbursement would’ve been nice but nothing was offered to us. Other than that I had no complaints.

Clean and tidy apartment with everything that you need to a good stay. Close to shops, restaurants and public transport (tram, bus and train). And just 35 minutes walk in to the city this place is perfect. Close enough to the city but far enough out to be quiet.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place seemed run down. The rooms were okay but not pleasant. The shower dripped. The windows would not completely close. The TV would not show any of the HD DTV channels (more than half of them) and there wasn't any pay tv channels as advertised. The sofa bed was terrible to sleep on. Fortunately, we were only there for one night and it was convenient to our activities but wouldn't stay there again. Not sure how they can command such a price for that standard.

Found the staff very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful hot shower and very comfortable bed. Great location to hospitals, city and public transport. The only complaint was the carpet. Alot of stains and needed a steam clean. Would recommend the property otherwise.

This property is convenient with good sized rooms and some secure parking. Carpets are tired and don’t expect to park one of the new breed of supersized utes….you won’t get in the gate! Otherwise it’s a reasonable value property.

A comfortable stay in a convenient location
We chose this hotel because of the price and the excellent reviews. It is close to medical facilities and there is plenty of choice for places to eat. The room we had was a little old but clean, and there was plenty of space .... and the bed was comfortable! There was a little traffic noise at night and in the morning, but not a problem as the hotel is on a side street between two major roads. Everything worked, from kitchen appliances to lights. Parking $18 p/n. Bring your own bathroom requisites as they are not supplied. Service from staff was excellent: we appreciated the phone call to explain late arrival arrangements and the friendly face behind the counter the next day.
